Senior Academy Announcements
February 18, 2026
Good Morning Senior Academy.
February Character Trait of the Month: Courage
This month, we’re focusing on courage—doing what’s right even when it’s hard, and speaking up or stepping forward despite fear or uncertainty. If you know a peer who demonstrates courage in their actions or choices, scan one of the purple QR codes around campus to nominate them. Please remember, you cannot nominate yourself—this is an opportunity to recognize a peer.
