The Definite Dozen (To Stay Here)

TO STAY HERE:

1. BE COMMITTED TO YOUR ACADEMICS – Make a plan…get a diploma. Go to class every day. Be on time. Sit up front. Take good notes. Do all extra work possible. Plan ahead and talk to your teacher when you are having a problem.

2. BE COMMITTED TO HAVING "CLASS" – Treat teachers, trainers, support staff, food and custodial workers, and all you meet with respect. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Moody people are rude. Everyone picks up trash and everyone is courteous. Say please, thank you, yes sir, and yes ma’am. Give people the benefit of the doubt and always remember to make eye contact and smile.

3. BE COMMITTED TO DOING THE RIGHT THING – We have plenty of school rules…know them. Realize if you just try to do the right thing you will be okay. Try to do the next right thing right and you are as close to perfect as any person can be.

4. BE COMMITTED TO THE PROGRAM – We realize that every word and action will be watched. Our program’s reputation provides many opportunities yet brings many responsibilities. We must be committed to build on to the tradition of our program and respect those that have gone before us and paid the price to build the program.
