Portait of a Graduate

These first few days, too, have been quite exciting...Classes online, Zoom meetings, our first Chapel Service with over 1,000 in attendance, a Parent Orientation with well over 400 online, our amazing Faculty and Staff 100% Annual Fund support announcement, and our Student Life Wing Groundbreaking...We have so much to celebrate, and so much of which I am most grateful. Again, thank you for setting such a positive tone!

 

Just as I shared with you the Statement of Commitment last Sunday, today I include the Portrait of a Graduate. As you well know, this creation came from many good discussions in the Fall of 2014, and was introduced in April, 2015 with our Strategic Plan 2020. It is a wonderful reminder of our "Working Goal", and what we aspire for our students. As I share with you often, I sincerely believe we are "called" to do this work and to be part of this noble profession. This Portrait of a Graduate helps to confirm that notion and those feelings for me, and I hope it will serve as an inspiration to you as well. 

 

Palmer Trinity School educates students to be:

*Passionate Learners who pursue enlightenment and learning across disciplines with curiosity and determination.

 

*Global Citizens who strive to recognize their universal humanity and appreciate their responsibility towards each other and the world.

 

*Problem Solvers who work with others to find diplomatic resolutions to challenge and change.

 

*Ethical Leaders who inspire others to work with purpose, clarity, and compassion.

 

*Independent Thinkers who apply their critical thinking abilities to engage in discourse about complex intellectual and ethical problems.

 

*Critical Listeners who listen to understand, not merely to respond.

All the very best as you continue to lead your students, with this Portrait of a Graduate in mind. Have a wonderful week, and, as always, thank you for your Passion, your Professionalism, and your Positive Attitude.
