Doing Well and Being Well: Conceptions of Well-Being Among Academically Successful Adolescent Girls of Color in a Catholic School
Abstract
This article reports the findings of an ethnographic study conducted in an urban Catholic high school, with a focus on girls of color. By giving voice to this regularly neglected group, this research gives us the opportunity to hear from girls of color and to learn firsthand of their successes, joys, and struggles. Academic achievement and psychological health are presented as goals for high school programs.Downloads
