Pulaski, Somerset, and Southwestern High School’s Work Ethic Seal Recipients celebrated their 25^th Work Ethic Seal at the Center for Rural Development on April 22nd.  

Part of the mission of education is to prepare students for the transition from school to work and life beyond the classroom.  A strong work ethic is essential to our students if they are to secure and maintain successful, meaningful employment. 

In an effort to meet this need, the Pulaski County Educational Consortium in joint effort with the Pulaski County School System, the Somerset Independent School System implement a special program in which students who meet specific criteria related to work ethic and soft skills will receive a special seal on their high school diploma and transcript.

This year marked 25 years of the Work Ethic Seal Program in the Pulaski and Somerset Schools.  That is over decade of students who have been trained, encouraged, and recognized for meeting the required criteria. 

Students must meet the following criteria to qualify for the work ethic seal:

·         Must maintain a minimum of average daily attendance of 98%Must have 4 or fewer tardies

·         Must have no more than 1 disciplinary referral

·         Must maintain a grade point average of 2.5 with NO failures

·         Must be involved in at least two of the following:   organized team sport, organized non-team sport, extracurricular programs, part-time employment, and a community service project

·         Must submit a resume and completed application to the Work Ethic Seal Program

This year 104 juniors and 84 seniors qualified for the Work Ethic Seal.
