Leader In Me

In November 2022, James H. Bates Elementary was named a Leader in Me Lighthouse School by Franklin Covey Co. This recognition came because our school achieved outstanding results in school and student outcomes by implementing The Leader in Me process with fidelity. It is also because of the school's extraordinary impact on staff, students, parents, and the greater community.

Sean Covey, Education Practice Leader, Franklin Covey, said, “We are thrilled to recognize James H. Bates Elementary as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. Schools who achieve the Lighthouse Milestone are great examples of a strong leadership model, process, and of what it means to be a Leader in Me school. This school has experienced transformational results by implementing the principles and practices related to The Leader in Me. We are so pleased to celebrate the success they are experiencing.”
