STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR
High standards of personal conduct are expected of the students attending Prince of Peace Lutheran School. Courteous consideration of others, kindness, fairness, honesty, and clean, wholesome speech are virtues we endeavor to cultivate in the training of each child. The training a child receives at school will be most effective when supported by the same value system at home.
