Southport High School Core Beliefs
Core Values
Think about this picture and statement about a SERVICE...
Teachers, staff, and students raise money for Riley in multiple ways. (no-shave November, toy drive, mums, etc.)
The outcomes of Service, as defined in our Culture Playbook, are:
- I am present in the support of others.
- I give my time to help others.
- I invest in making Southport High School the best it can be.
When we are willing to give of ourselves in support of others we model this behavior for our students. Sometimes that requires you to put yourself out there and take a risk...it even may mean you have to shave half your beard off. How ever you choose to service, go big and make Southport High School the best it can be!
Be A Cardinal; Change lives; PUT A MISSION INTO MOTION

Positive people need to get tougher
Pessimists are usually tougher than optimists. That’s a problem.
Until positive people develop a backbone, learn how to get tough, and operate with the endurance necessary to outlast cynics, negativity continues to survive and thrive. I don’t lay responsibility with pessimists first. I lay responsibility with optimists who stay quiet and give in.
If you’re a true optimist, if you’re a true positive source, get louder, tougher, and more loving. Cynics and pessimists get a lot of attention because they’re good at getting it. They demand it. They’re relentless. They have endurance.
Cynics are ready to compete for attention and control of the conversation. Are you?
Embrace the chase. Do the work.
