What is IDAC?

Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (IDAC) draws members from parents to represent our school at district level climate assessment/problem-solving meetings. The primary purpose of the Intercultural Diversity Advisory Council (IDAC), originally formed in 1988 as the Intercultural Advisory Council is to assist in the formation and review of policies that assure non-discriminatory practices in all operational areas of the Clovis Unified School District. Its further mission is to assist in improving the cultural environment of the District.

  • Human Relations Council

    Purpose:

    The purpose of Human Relations Council (HRC) is to bring diverse student groups together to share ideas, plan and facilitate activities on campus, and promote a positive school environment that celebrates our differences. It is important for students to love themselves and learn more about their own culture.

    • Backpack Project: HRC students coordinate a backpack drive every year to fill backpacks with essentials to donate to the Fresno County Department of Social Services for foster youth in Fresno County. Last year we donated 15 filled backpacks!

Lunch on the Lawn is also our cultural showcase where our various groups including Folklorico, Hmong Dance, Percussion, Oral Interp, etc. perform for our community.
