WHAT ARE WE HOPING TO ACHIEVE BY ADOPTING HERO? Transform school culture by creating a positive environment for students Prepare students for their future by recognizing positive behaviors Increase student achievement as a result of positive recognition Create an environment where students are excited to go to school Decrease negative behavior incidents “Students want boundaries, to know how to fit into their world. They want to know the limits. Hero allows us to establish and keep the boundaries firm, consistent, and fair.” − Dr. John F. Boldt, Principal, Southern Wayne High School
