Culture of celebration
Building a positive culture is an important aspect of a successful school. A community that values and encourages motivation publicly celebrates success. At City on a Hill, school-wide celebrations are valued rituals held on a weekly basis. Because academic achievement is a central tenet of City on a Hill, the community endeavors to eliminate a competitive culture that regards high grades as finite rewards to be fought over or believes failing grades are ample punishment to be dispersed liberally. Elimination of a competitive culture is achieved by fostering a culture of consistent, inclusive celebrations.
