We are excited to announce that we have been named a Leader in Me Lighthouse School!
Three weeks ago we had a Lighthouse Review team visit from various parts of the United States. The team visited classrooms, talked with students, staff, and families, and reviewed our Evidence Binder. We received notification last week from Sean Covey, President of Franklin Covey Education. He said, “We are thrilled to recognize Garfield as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. Schools who achieve this Lighthouse Certification are great examples of a strong leadership model, and of what it means to be a Leader in Me school. This school has experienced incredible results by implementing the principles and practices related to Leader in Me. And we are so pleased and honored to be their partner and to celebrate the success they are experiencing.”
Since its official launch nearly a decade ago, more than 5,000 public, private, and charter schools across 50 countries have adopted the Leader in Me process, while more than 650 schools have achieved the prestigious Lighthouse Certification. It is earned by schools that demonstrate a culture of leadership, caring, relationships, goal setting, student leadership and so much more! These things help us to reach our mission-“We Encourage, Teach, and Empower Leaders to Succeed”.
