Our Core Values

At Hawthorne-Scribner High School, our values form the foundation of who we are and guide every aspect of our teaching, leadership, and student life. These principles are not just words on a page — they are lived out daily by our staff, students, and community.

1. Integrity

We believe in doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Integrity is at the heart of our school culture — fostering honesty, accountability, and strong moral character in all our students and staff.

2. Excellence

We strive for excellence in everything we do — from academics and leadership to sports and personal conduct. Our students are encouraged to aim high, work hard, and continually improve.

3. Discipline

A disciplined environment is key to effective learning and personal growth. We uphold high standards of conduct, time management, and responsibility to prepare students for success in school and beyond.

4. Faith

Our school is founded on Christian values that shape our character and worldview. We promote spiritual growth, respect for God, and compassion for others in all aspects of life.

5. Respect

We value every individual, regardless of background, ability, or belief. Our school community is built on mutual respect, kindness, and the dignity of each person.

6. Service

We teach our students the importance of giving back. Through community outreach and student-led initiatives, we nurture a spirit of servant leadership and active citizenship.

7. Teamwork

We achieve more when we work together. Collaboration among students, teachers, parents, and the wider community is central to achieving our shared goals.

These values are not just ideals — they shape our identity, influence our decisions, and prepare our learners to become responsible, ethical, and visionary leaders in their communities and beyond.

At Hawthorne-Scribner High School, values are our compass — guiding hearts, shaping futures.
