Virtue Expectations and Norms

Laurie Cathcart, Principal, St. Michael Parish and School, Grand Ledge

We began using virtue awards at assemblies as a way to implement Education in Virtue, school-wide.

We fully adopted your program last year throughout our whole school Preschool-Grade 8. We have monthly assemblies recognizing students who demonstrate virtuous behavior and at the end of the year we give out Most Virtuous Student awards for each of the four Cardinal virtues at the year-end Awards’ Assembly.

Enabling staff and students to recognize virtue in others in a visible way helps the language and practice of the virtues become the normal culture of a school.
