2013 Work Ethic Awards Reception

High schools serve as a bridge for student transition to adult life.  Upon completion of high school, students have formed habits they will carry with them the rest of their lives.  One of the fundamental goals of all high schools is to produce graduates who will be responsible, productive members of the community.  The Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce believes that there is a direct relationship between the work ethic that young people display in school and their future success.  By striving to instill a positive work ethic in our students, we will help ensure their futures as responsible, productive members of the community.
 
Because the Southeast Kentucky Chamber recognizes the value of a strong work ethic, it will present a special Work Ethic Award to students who meet the high standards defined in the criteria.  This special award will validate students who earn the credential as prime candidates for employment and/or postsecondary education.
