About the Director

Roger Grande is a thirteen-year veteran teacher.  Prior to teaching Roger worked at Partners In Health, a non-profit organization that provides health care in resource poor settings worldwide.  After teaching at Brighton High School in Boston for two years, Roger began teaching world and American history at Brookline High School.  Roger also created and taught an introductory sociology course calld Social Problems and created the student organization SAJE (Student Action for Justice and Education).  Current SAJE Committees include The Emerson School Partnership, Food Insecurity, Anti-Genocide, Environmental Actions and Global Health for Women Committees. 

Roger believes that social studies education should be applied; that the world beyond the walls of the classroom must serve as a social studies lab, and that students must learn how to make change, not just learn about others who have.  Recently Roger was awarded the Brookline Community Foundation Unsung Hero award for his work engaging youth in social justice leadership.  Read about it in the Brookline Tab.

Support Victims of Haiti Earthquake

No country in the Western hemisphere has been battered more than Haiti in the last 500 years--the nearly complete annihilation of its native population in about 2 decades,  a brutal slave regime, foreign military interventions over hundreds of years, dictatorship supported by western powers, blockades of aid and more recently devastating hurricanes--and now the earthquake.  Haitians are a strong and resilient people--they were the first country in the world to establish an independent republic by former slaves.  Unfortuantely, the United States has often been on the side of Haitian dictators and not the poor majority.  Let's help build a new Haiti.  Please give to Partners In Health.  Learn more about relief for Haiti.
