Embracing Diversity at Pflugerville ISD   

"Whereas ethnic pride wants one to turn inward, toward the talents and accomplishments of one's own group, diversity wants one to turn outward, toward the talents and accomplishments of all groups."

-- from "The Law of Diversity" in Neil Postman's book, The End of Education, c.1995

Our Definition of Diversity:

Pflugerville ISD views diversity within a school system as inclusive of differences in human characteristics that affect a student's capacity to learn or interact in a school environment. These differences can be biological, environmental or social in nature.
