Check out our 2020 Recertification Letter to see what Franklin Covey has to say about our shool! The Leader in Me is now a part of our culture.

Stephen Covey, The Leader in Me program results in higher academic achievement and equips students with the self-confidence and skills they need to meet future challenges and endeavors.

Covey took the 7 Habits that have already changed the lives of millions of readers and showed how even young children can use them as they develop. After receiving an MBA from Harvard and a doctorate degree from Brigham Young University, he became the co-founder and vice chairman of Franklin Covey, a leading global training firm. His books have sold more than twenty-five million copies in thirty-eight languages, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was named the #1 Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century.
Covey (1932–2012) was an internationally respected leadership authority, family expert, teacher, organizational consultant, and author.
