The Weekly 1-5-20
I will begin each Weekly 1-5-20 again this year by sharing some thoughts about one of our core beliefs and an "I can" statement for that value. I will ask that you spend some time that week thinking about this value and how it it impacts our school, staff, and students.

Southport High School Core Beliefs
INTEGRITY:
I CAN BE HONEST.
Being honest sounds really easy. We have heard, and probably said, countless times: “honesty is the best policy”...until it is not. Honesty, when honesty is easy, makes sense. We are very willing to give people an honest answer when it is the easy answer -- an answer that will not upset the listener. But, when it comes to sharing a hard truth that requires a different level of accountability, the truth becomes much more difficult to share. We tend to find it easy to share the hard truths with those we view as learners but much more difficult to share with those we view as equals. Everyone needs someone in their life to be a noticer and truth-teller. We must understand that life without the accountability of the truth is dangerous. Let us spend some time this week focusing on being honest in those times when it is most difficult to share the truth. With the right mindset, we will all be better because of the growth that comes with the truth.
