Leader In Me
-
All classed have dedicated time for learning leadership principles which are applied routinely in the classrooms and through service learning. Students work collaboratively and apply the 7 Habits every day. They have a voice in our school with jobs and leadership roles.
At St. Patrick Catholic School, we lead by faith and teach the 7 Habits. We believe that every child is a leader, and we are proud to be designated as a Leader in Me LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL.
Based on the proven leadership principles found in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen Covey, The Leader in Me program results in higher academic achievement and equips students with the self-confidence and skills they need to meet future challenges and endeavors. The Leader in Me is woven into our curriculum and is a wonderful complement to the emphasis on faith and values that are part of every day at St. Patrick School.
On March, 11, 2018, we were certified as a Lighthouse School after a rigorous review process. The Leader in Me is now a part of our culture. We were the ninth school in the state and the first Catholic school in Iowa to reach this milestone.
Through the Leader in Me, we
– Develop essential soft skills in all students
– Identify and nurture the gifts and talents of all students
– Provide authentic learning and leadership opportunities for all students
– Teach students to apply the 7 Habits
