National Hispanic Heritage Month traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries. During this month and throughout the year, Detroit Public Schools Community District recognizes and celebrates our students,  staff, and community members who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean. Let's share the history, heritage, and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latino Americans of the past and present.
