Springs’ Classical Community of Orange County is focusing on the character trait of tenacity, said Principal Linda Larson, “encouraging students to keep trying, embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and recognize that meaningful growth takes effort.”
Each month, the school will honor a Super Student from each class, she said, individuals “who demonstrate this important character trait in their learning and daily interactions.”
Tenacity, Linda continued, “is woven into our classrooms as teachers encourage students to persevere through difficult assignments, ask questions, try new strategies, and take ownership of their learning.”
She noted that the school’s study of history offered “powerful” examples of tenacity, including characters from the Civil War, which students are currently studying. She said, “Through these stories, we are reminded that tenacity is not simply about refusing to give up; it is about staying committed to what is right and continuing to move forward, even when the path is difficult.”
