CCHS Students Signing Up to Participate in Indiana's™ Work Ethic Certification Program

Whitley County Consolidated Schools is a participant in the Indiana WorkEthic Certification Program which is being rolled out this week to juniors and seniors at Columbia City High School.

As parents and members of this community, we all want our children to possess a strong work ethic. This certification is a formal method to validate to post-secondary schools and future employers that the participating high school students who earn their credentials are prime candidates for post-secondary admission and employment consideration. The standards that must be accomplished by the students are good self-discipline, good attendance, promptness to school and classes, community service, good grades, respectfulness in class, group cooperation in classes, timely completion of assignments, and an overall strong work ethic.

Students will declare their intention to participate by signing a "Student Intent to Participate" form. Participants who meet the established criteria will be recognized at CCHS Honor Convocation in May of 2009. The WorkEthic Certificate will be awarded to each successful student. Participation forms are due by Friday, September 26. They may be turned in to the Career Development Center (room 111) and questions about the program may be addressed to Judy Moore, 244-6136.
