Rockets

At SES, student learning is celebrated with the ROCKET Traits of Resilient, Open-Minded, Courageous, Kind, Engaged, Trustworthy, and Spirited which students display while they are learning or being taught, extending to the level of motivation they have to learn and progress in their education. A strong culture enhances collaboration and trust, while a healthy climate fosters well-being and effective learning. When these elements thrive, students are more likely to succeed academically and socially, and teachers benefit from a more supportive and productive workplace.

  RESILIENT:  “Resilience is silent and deep, like roots. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn’t explode outward. It doesn’t fall. It doesn’t break. It simply always is. And you are.” -Victoria Erickson

  OPEN-MINDED:  “The purpose of an education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.” -Malcolm Forbes

  COURAGEOUS:  “The truth is you always know the right thing to do. The tough part is doing it.” -General Norman Schwarzkopf

  KIND:  “Always stay humble and kind.” -Tim McGraw

  ENGAGED:  “Turned on people figure out how to beat the competition. Turned off people only complain about being beaten by the competition.” -Ben Simonton

  TRUSTWORTHY:  “Don’t always trust what you see. Even salt looks like sugar.” -Narges Obaid

  SPIRITED:  “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” -Albert Einstein

It's a good day to be a ROCKET!
