“This is such an honor! I have the most respectful, responsible, involved students” says Ms. Jessica Houghtaling.
Ms. Houghtaling has chosen Jacob Crain for the Pirate Code. She admires how he leads others and pushes them to be better. Helpful students like Jacob, to her, make class easier. Classes are more responsible for their learning when certain students lead the way.
She chose Jacob for Pirate Code because he is consistently being extremely helpful by guiding his neighbors, cleaning after others, and working well with his group.
When asked what set certain students apart from others she said, “Their internal motivation. They’re not doing it for recognition, they’re doing it because they feel it in their heart”. Pirate code winners continue to lead the way for other students to be better and reach their potential. They inspire and invoke change among groups, small or large. Jacob Crain is no exception, accomplishing this and more.
