Every district and school begins the year with a clear set of priorities: strategic plans, district and school improvement plans, and annual goals. Determining the goals to achieve has never been the hard part. The real challenge for today's district and school leaders is achieving those desired outcomes once the realities of the school year take over, when urgency crowds out focus, attention shifts, and results stall.

FranklinCovey Education today announced it will present Mildred B. Janson Elementary of the greater Rosemead School District in Rosemead, CA with the prestigious Leader in Me Legacy School recognition at a celebration event at the school on February 25, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Mildred B. Janson is only the second school in the world to receive this recognition, following A.B. Combs Elementary, the first Leader in Me and Legacy School in the world. Its former principal, Muriel Summers, will speak at the event, and representatives from Panda Cares, the philanthropic arm of Panda Restaurant Group, which has sponsored and funded the Leader in Me model at the school, will also attend. As this is a closed event, only invited guests may attend. The event is being recorded and will be available on the school’s website on March 11.
