BIO
E pluribus unum is Latin for "Out of many, one". This motto was adopted during the founding of our nation representing unity while diverse in opinions. That diversity has grown much more vast and varied in becoming our greatest strength as a nation. However, our Republic must not equate unity with uniformity. We must repair, foster, and celebrate unity in diversity within the context of our constitutional standards taught in our classrooms.
