“We are honored to become a Leader in Me Lighthouse School,” said Dr. Kyle Loudermilk, Principal of Jackson Elementary School. “This is an exciting milestone and recognition for the Jackson Elementary community as we have been on our Leader in Me journey for the past five years. This accomplishment is a direct result of the vision and leadership of both past and present staff members at Jackson and our wonderful community partner, First Broad Street United Methodist Church. Our students have benefitted from the Leader in Me framework and principles that have helped guide our continuous improvement in the areas of culture, leadership, and academics. We are excited to celebrate this achievement and look forward to continuing our growth as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School." The process unites students, staff, and families around a common goal to prepare students with college, career, and life-readiness skills that are necessary to thrive in today’s ever-changing, fast paced environment, such as: critical thinking, creativity, self-discipline, vision, initiative, communication, relationship building, goal achievement, public speaking, global awareness, social-emotional learning, teamwork, listening skills, time management, leading projects, self-directed learning, valuing diversity, and problem-solving.
