Rocket Habit of the Month: Be Proactive! ✨🚀

This October, we’re focusing on Habit 1: Be Proactive — taking charge of your actions, words, and choices. Instead of reacting to what happens around you, choose a positive response and focus on what you can control.

October is National Principals Month — a time to recognize the exceptional leaders who guide, inspire, and empower our schools every single day. 🚀

Our principals lead with vision and purpose, nurture growth for students and staff, and help shape the future of our Rocket Leaders. Join us in celebrating their dedication and the lasting impact they make across Rockcastle County Schools!

🚀 Starting tomorrow, we’re launching a brand-new series: Rocket Habit of the Month! 🌟

Each month, we’ll spotlight one of the 7 Habits from the Leader in Me framework — powerful principles that help students build leadership, responsibility, and strong character. These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.

Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

The Portrait of a Rocket continues to guide our work at Rockcastle County Schools, showing how every student can learn, lead, and soar. Rooted in The Leader in Me framework and aligned with Kentucky’s Portrait of a Learner, it reflects the qualities we aim to build in all Rockets—resilience, responsibility, communication, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. 🚀

This is the heart of our vision: guiding Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders. 🌟
