Good Afternoon, Rocket Families!🚀
This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools. Leadership is another one of our competencies from our Portrait of a Rocket.
⭐Leadership is the ability to inspire and guide others toward a common goal while demonstrating integrity, responsibility, and care for your community.
At Ridgedale, leadership means:
Taking initiative to make positive changes, even when it's not required
Serving others by putting the needs of your team, class, or school first
Being accountable for your actions and learning from mistakes
Including everyone and valuing different perspectives and strengths
Setting an example through your character, work ethic, and attitude
