Elizabethtown Area Middle School's "Student of the Month" program spotlights the outstanding achievements and personal growth among its student body. Aligned with the school's Leader In Me Initiative and drawing inspiration from the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," each month is dedicated to focusing on a specific habit. The program's primary goal is to acknowledge and celebrate students who embody these principles, contributing to the creation of a positive and growth-oriented school environment.

This initiative reflects EAMS's commitment to holistic education, emphasizing character development alongside academic excellence. Teachers actively nominate students who exhibit outstanding commitment, leadership, and growth in the designated habit, with monthly recognition events shining a spotlight on these commendable achievements.

The "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" are integral to our Leader In Me Program, where they are consistently emphasized to students throughout the school year. The program is designed to foster the development of healthy peer relationships, encourage responsible decision-making, and instill a sense of ownership in their choices. Through these habits, we aim to empower students with essential life skills that contribute to their overall personal and academic growth.

Leader in Me helps students learn how to become self-reliant, take initiative, plan ahead, set and track goals, do their homework, prioritize their time, manage their emotions, be considerate of others, express their viewpoint persuasively, resolve conflicts, find creative solutions, value differences, and live a balanced life. The process helps students develop the skills and self-confidence they need to lead their lives and succeed in school and beyond. These Habits are discussed with students frequently throughout the school year in our Leader In Me Program.
