Wood River Pickleball Courts

Eagle Families and Friends, we are excited to share that our middle/high school has recently been designated as a Lighthouse School by The Leader in Me organization, Franklin Covey. This prestigious recognition highlights our school as a model in implementing The Leader in Me principles.

This recognition reflects our strong leadership culture, where both students and staff are actively involved. Together, they form action teams that positively shape the direction of our schools.

Students take charge of their own learning by setting (WIGs) Wildly Important Goals in academics and identifying key actions to achieve them, called lead measures.

The Leader in Me program is based on the best-selling business book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey.

Our Elementary School earned its Lighthouse designation two years ago, further demonstrating that Wood River Rural Schools are deeply rooted in the core principles of The Leader in Me:

• Everyone has potential

• Anyone can be a leader

• Change begins with each of us

• Educators empower students to lead their own learning

• We strive to develop the whole person

We are proud of the direction that our schools are headed. It is not without the hard work of our staff and students, and their willingness to believe in the extraordinary while reaching for excellence.

The middle and high school Lighthouse Teams are composed of students who are identified by their teachers and peers as building leaders. Each selected member submits an application, secures recommendations from their teachers, and passes a thorough interview process.

With your generous donation, our organization can help the local community finally realize a long term dream of building a pickleball complex for all to enjoy. We have secured financial support from the Vision2020 board and various other gracious donors who have pledged matching funds for our GoBigGive efforts.
