Has your student received a PRIDE card?
Students at Waldron Jr/Sr High are demonstrating pride in themselves, our school, and
our community every day. As acknowledgement, students are recognized by their
teachers and building staff with a PRIDE card. Students are to bring the card to the
office, where they receive a small token of our appreciation. They’re also entered into a
drawing for a weekly prize and works towards larger PRIDE incentives.
PRIDE represents our core values at Waldron HS and serves as the basis for middle
schoolers’ Advisory curriculum.
Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Excellence
