Neil Lesinski Rebecca Saffert Principal Vice Principal Last year, as a staff, we focused our attention on rolling out the Jim Kelly Be C-G Pillars of Success, which include Self Advocacy, Perseverance, Integrity, Engagement, Administrative Dean of Responsibility, and Citizenship. As an incentive for demonstrating one of our core values, Students (A-K) students could earn a Be C-G ticket and a small prize from a staff member. I am proud to Ryan Ludwig say that over the course of last school year, over 400 different students were awarded for TOSA Dean of embodying the Be C-G Pillars. For the 2019-20 school year, we will continue to incentivize Students (L-Z) positive actions by our Trojans and encourage you to talk with your student(s) about our six pillars and how you observe them in your daily life. Dr. Hank Harvey Student Services Coordinator Also, at the end of the last two school years, all students participated in a survey that aimed at measuring their perception of our school’s culture, student safety, and student Jim Altendorf connectedness and sense of belonging at C-G.
