Chandler High School’s 3,000 students' concept of leadership cannot simply be a poster on a wall — leadership must be action.
The school’s six “Character Counts” traits of character development are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship, which align with CUSD’s Portrait of a Learner traits: adaptability, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, empathy and being a global citizen.
This commitment to character took center stage Feb. 3, when 40 Chandler High juniors participated in the Donna and Darnell Pettengill Civic Leadership Academy.
