Governor's Work Ethic Certificate
Beginning with the Class of 2020, our seniors will be able to earn a Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate if they demonstrate work ethic skills and meet other criteria. Earning this certificate is a way for students to demonstrate that they possess the employability and character skills needed to be successful as they enter post-secondary institutions, apprenticeships, the military, and/or the workforce: that they are at work/school on a regular basis and on time, able to work with others, able to solve problems, and are self-starters.
Students receiving the Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate will be measured in ten areas of academic and work ethic competency. Six subjective measures (Integrity, Motivation, Professionalism, Adaptability, Communication, and Teamwork) will be evaluated by teachers or other adults confirming that a student has met these requirements. Students must also complete 6 hours of community service, have a GPA of 2.0 or higher, meet all graduation requirements, have an attendance rate of 98%, and have one or fewer discipline referrals for the year.
Please encourage your senior to participate in this program. Seniors are receiving information about the Work Ethic Certificate program from their Guidance Counselor this week and have until Friday, August 30 to opt in to the program. If you have any questions or would like more information about the program, please contact Mrs. McCabe at amy.mccabe@ftcsc.org.
