LGBTQIA+ Hoover Community by Mikaela Card

Administration and teachers like Hoover’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) advisor, Michael Heu, received “Out for Safe Schools” badges and posters by participating in an LGBTQIA+ student-led “Out for Safe Schools” training at Hoover High School. By wearing their badges on lanyards and displaying the posters in their classrooms, Hoover High School teachers and staff create safe spaces on campus and show support for the LGBTQIA+ community at Hoover.

The “Out for Safe Schools” workshop and training was coordinated and led by the GSA in order to educate, inform and build advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community at Hoover High School.
