The purpose of the 4-Way Test is to foster the principles of ethics in everyday life

The specific goals of the Contest are to:
• Acquaint youth with Rotary and the tenets of the 4-Way Test with an
understanding and appreciation of Rotary’s ethical standards.
• Demonstrate and enhance Rotarians’ commitment to youth.
• Heighten awareness of Rotary among parents, school officials, and the
community at large.
• Recognize, encourage and reward hard work and accomplishment in our
youth.
• Provide an opportunity for Rotarians to participate in a Community
Vocational Service program that focuses on the 4-Way Test as our standard
of ethical conduct.

Parking Reminder!
“This is a reminder, if you have not purchased a parking pass you should not be parking on campus. Unfortunately, there is not enough parking on campus for every licensed driver to park. Parking passes are currently sold out, and there is a wait list that students can be added to if parking passes become available. Parents we understand this can be particularly frustrating when you have a newly licensed driver who wants to drive to campus. For any sophomores who are now getting their licenses, we ask that they continue getting to school by whatever method they used before becoming a licensed driver.
We have students parking in staff parking and visitor parking, leaving staff without a place to park. The Parking Contract signed by all permitted drivers clearly states parking on campus is not guaranteed and violating the parking rules can result in your parking permit being revoked. We encourage you to find an alternate mode of transportation to school, walking, biking, bussing, carpooling are all great options. Parking at the Sheldon Community Center, Bi-mart or Market of Choice, please be advised that these businesses will tow cars parked in their lots. The school will be ticketing cars parked on campus without a permit displayed starting the week after Spring Break. Thank you for your cooperation!”
