INCH AND MILES: THE JOURNEY TO SUCCESS book cover

Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success

Staff and students use the book "Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success" by Coach John Wooden to guide their  character education lessons.  Each chapter of the book explores a different character trait.  In turn, these traits are used to build the "Pyramid of Success". 

 

At the Primary School, the guidance counselor and teachers give age-appropriate lessons to all students using these character traits found in the book.  Each month has a different character trait focus, with students being honored for excellence in each area.
