What is Leader in me?

Leader in Me is an evidence-based, comprehensive operating system that builds leadership and life skills in students, creates a high-trust school culture, and lays the foundation for sustained academic achievement, while intrinsically motivating adults and students.

Every Knight EveryDay!

Devinny is proud to be a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. We have been a Leader in Me School since 2021. and a Lighthouse School since 2026.

Within the education industry, it is common for schools to receive recognition for outstanding achievement. The Lighthouse Certification is a highly-regarded standard set by FranklinCovey that is attainable by every Leader in Me school. As it is a significant benchmark, applying for this certification typically occurs four to five years after a school begins the Leader in Me process.

The certification is evidence that schools have produced outstanding results in school and student outcomes, by implementing the process with fidelity and excellence. It is also because of the extraordinary impact that the schools may be having on staff, students, parents, and the greater community.

Leader in Me schools maintain their Lighthouse Certification for two years and continue to foster their growth in exemplifying a leadership culture. At the end of the two years, schools may recertify to maintain their Lighthouse Certification.  We will undergo the Recertification Process in April of 2027..

Classroom

During the first 20 minutes of each school day, all students are engaging in a series of activities designed to foster the value of the Leader in Me.  Students are encouraged to learn about and teach the 7 Habits, set goals for both personal and academic success as well as strive to find their genius and become a leader.
