The award celebrates campuses across the nation that go above and beyond in building a safe and welcoming environment where students are relationally connected and eager to learn.
“Relationships first is our core value, and our teachers, paras, campus admin, bus drivers, child nutrition, custodians - every single one of our staff - do an incredible job connecting and supporting our students. We are so proud of the hard work and dedication our staff devotes to building a positive learning environment for students,” said Forney ISD Superintendent Dr. Justin Terry. “This award validates their continuous commitment to building relationships with students to create a safe, positive campus culture.”
For over three decades, Capturing Kids’ Hearts has brought tools to thousands of campuses nationwide that equip teachers, coaches, administrators, and district leaders to implement transformational processes focused on cultivating student-connectedness, improving school culture, and fostering character development. These processes are designed to directly impact every aspect of a school community.
Capturing Kids’ Hearts is proud to recognize campuses implementing these processes with measurable results that are making a difference in the lives of students.
“Being named a National Showcase School is an honor for any district. To have all of our campuses selected to receive national honors is just incredible,” said Forney ISD Board President Greg Pharris. “Our staff are so deserving of this honor.”
Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School awardees are evaluated and selected based on survey and performance data from administrators, teachers, staff, and students. Decreases in discipline referrals as well as positive campus culture and climate are common themes among the data from awarded campuses.
* New schools are not eli-gible to be a CKH National Showcase campus until they are in their second year, but may receive a Rising Star award if they demonstrated exemplary progress and fidelity of implementation in your first year of the Capturing Kids’ Hearts Journey.
