Promotion

Core ValuesCitizenship: Helping to create a society based upon democratic values including rules of law, equality of opportunity, due process, reasoned argument, representative government, checks and balances, rights and responsibilities and democratic decision-making, e.g., obeying classroom and school rules.

Cooperation : Working together toward goals as basic as human survival in an increasingly interdependent world, e.g., being a member of the team on the athletic field.

Fairness: Treating people impartially, not playing favorites, being open-minded, and maintaining an objective attitude toward those whose actions and ideas are different from our own, e.g., treating people the same, regardless of their ethnicity, race, religion, gender, or physical condition.

Honesty: Dealing truthfully with people, being sincere, not deceiving them or stealing from them, not cheating or lying, e.g., doing one’s own work when taking a test or working on an individual assignment.

Integrity: Dealing truthfully with people, being sincere, not deceiving them or stealing from them, not cheating or lying, e.g., doing one’s own work when taking a test or working on an individual assignment.

Core ValuesKindness: Being sympathetic, helpful, compassionate, benevolent, agreeable and gentle toward people and other living things, e.g., helping a fellow student who has been injured.

Pursuit of Excellence: Doing your best with the talents you have, striving toward a goal and not giving up, e.g., putting forth one’s best effort when taking an exam or doing homework.

Respect: Showing regard for the worth and dignity of someone or something, being courteous and polite, and judging all people on their merits. Respect takes three major forms: respect for oneself, respect for other people, and respect for all forms of life and the environment, e.g., practicing acceptable manners in the school cafeteria.

Responsibility: Thinking before you act and being accountable for your actions, paying attention to others, and responding to their needs. Responsibility emphasizes our positive obligations to care for each other, e.g., performing a community service project.
