This holistic, single-site case study elevated the voices of more than 400 multilingual learners (MLLs) from 34 countries, speaking 21 languages, and examined their experiences and feelings of belonging, arriving, and participating in a U.S. high school newcomer program community of practice. It was more important than ever to examine belonging in high school communities of practice for newly arrived immigrant students during a socio-political climate of xenophobia, racist rhetoric, Black Lives Matter social uprising, policy uncertainties for youth with deferred action on deportation, �Muslim bans,� and COVID-19 immigration and travel bans. Utilizing sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, 1978), Wenger�s (1998b) community of practice framework, and Allen and Kern�s (2017) belonging framework to understand the distinctive newcomer MLL experience in high school, a large administration of a survey with 391 respondents, 14 online student interviews, and student documents served as data. Implications and recommendations critically examined structures, practices, climate, and actions to foster a sense of belonging for newcomers. This case study provided nine connective points where this bounded community of practice fostered a sense of belonging for newcomers. Schools are a safe haven for newly arrived students. This research also highlighted how language and translanguaging (Garc�a, 2009; Wei, 2018) bind together a newcomer�s experience and can support, or dismantle, feelings of belonging, connection, value, and acceptance.
