Principled People

We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

February was full of principled people and explorations of what it means to live in a principled way.

Principled People

Learners were recognized for being fair and honest and others noticed how these students love to cheer classmates on. They take responsibility for actions and make good choices every day.

These students were noted for always telling the truth and standing up for what is right, even when it’s hard and treating classmates with respect and making sure everyone feels valued.

These MYP students are described as acting with honesty and have a strong moral compass. Their peers stated that they always respect other's rights, encourage them to do well and also try to do their best, and they take responsibility for anything that may arise.

Principled action with Community Project

In the spirit of the IB Learner Profile trait of being Principled, students engage in meaningful community projects that demonstrate responsibility, integrity, and a commitment to making a difference. By tutoring peers, they foster academic growth and confidence in others. Through helping animals, they show compassion and advocate for the well-being of all living creatures. By teaching younger students, they take on leadership roles, sharing knowledge and inspiring curiosity. Through creating murals, they bring communities together, using art to tell stories and celebrate diversity. Each of these projects reflects a dedication to service, ethical decision-making, and a desire to leave a positive impact on the world.

Principled musicians

These musicians are principled through dedication, responsibility, and teamwork. Band members commit to practicing regularly, showing integrity by learning their parts and supporting their peers. They respect the conductor, follow the rules, and hold themselves accountable for their performance. Whether playing at school events or representing their community, they demonstrate discipline, perseverance, and a shared commitment to excellence. Through music, they uphold values of respect, collaboration, and responsibility, embodying what it means to be principled

Principled people dance, have fun and raise some money for the school.
