ETHOS
Citizen Leadership Framework Defines What It Means To Be a Raven
Since its implementation in the 2013–14 school year, Lead From Here has integrated citizen leadership education across all disciplines and divisions. From faculty and staff professional development to “launch lessons” in each grade and even parent education sessions, this groundbreaking curriculum conceptualizes leadership as three overlapping spheres — Leading Self, Leading With Others and Changing Your World — and develops in all Ravens the competencies that fuel citizen leadership in the 21st century.

Athletics Practices, Protocols Aim to Keep Students Safe
Sports-related injuries, especially to the head, are hot-button
topics in the media, galvanizing doctors, coaches and trainers — and worrying families with young athletes at home. The Ravenscroft Athletics Department has taken a proactive approach, hiring certified trainers, developing protocols and procedures, and focusing on prevention and education to keep athletes as safe as possible.
