Leader in Me School

Welcome to Our "Leader in Me" Family!

At Demorest Elementary, we believe every child has unique strengths and the potential to be a leader. As a Leader in Me school, we integrate Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People into daily learning to help students build life skills like responsibility, teamwork, goal setting, and problem solving.

We are proud to share that last school year we earned Lighthouse School Designation, a prestigious honor recognizing schools that demonstrate outstanding student leadership, a strong culture of empowerment, and high academic growth.

How the 7 Habits Help Your Student:

Habit 1: Be Proactive – Taking initiative and choosing positive attitudes.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind – Setting goals and planning ahead.

Habit 3: Put First Things First – Prioritizing work before play.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win – Finding solutions where everyone succeeds.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood – Listening with empathy.

Habit 6: Synergize – Working better together as a team.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw – Balancing mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Thank you for partnering with us as we empower our students to lead themselves and others!
