On Friday, October 14, Mrs. Terry Joseph, Principal of Manor Elementary School received notification that Manor achieved the honor of “Lighthouse Status” as part of their Leader in Me program.  This honor recognizes Manor Elementary as an exemplary school for the teaching of leadership, the development of a leadership culture and a solid academic program that is strengthened by leadership principles.

Out of almost 3,000 Leader in Me schools in the United States, approximately 6% have received Lighthouse status.  Less than half of this 6% receive this honor after the first visit from the Franklin Covey Lighthouse Review Team, which was the case for Manor this past Friday.  Manor received distinguished rankings in all areas on the first visit.

Monroe Public Schools is very proud of the work that has been done by Manor students, staff and parents as part of the Leader in Me initiative.  The Teacher Lighthouse Team, Parent Lighthouse Team and the Student Lighthouse Team at Manor will be collaborating in the upcoming days to plan a school-wide celebration to share their success with Manor families and members of the community.
