At South Hills Academy, we are proud to nurture not only academic excellence but also the holistic growth of our students through our Expected Student Learning Outcomes (ESLO) awards. These awards honor students who exemplify values that align with our mission to develop well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate leaders.

Here’s a closer look at each of our ESLO awards and what they represent:

1. Christ-Centered
Our Christ-Centered award celebrates students who demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of Christ-like behavior and a Biblical worldview. These students serve as role models, showing kindness, humility, and a heart for service in all they do. Their actions remind us of the importance of living with purpose and compassion, grounded in faith.

2. Effective Communicator
The Effective Communicator award is given to students who excel at communicating effectively in both oral and written language. This award celebrates individuals who listen as much as they speak, ensuring that their words uplift and build connections. Effective Communicators at SHA are equipped to engage confidently in discussions, share ideas, and inspire others with their thoughtful communication.

3. Global Citizen
Our Global Citizen award honors students who actively contribute to the community and value the contributions of others. These students understand and appreciate the importance of working together for a better world. As advocates for social and environmental justice, they take steps to make a difference locally and globally, fostering an inclusive and caring community.

4. Socially Engaged
The Socially Engaged award goes to students who demonstrate care and concern for their environment and community while interacting respectfully with people of diverse cultures. These students actively participate in initiatives that improve the lives of others and show SHA’s values of empathy, teamwork, and social responsibility.

5. Critical Thinker
The Critical Thinker award celebrates students who gather, analyze, and process information using a variety of strategies. These students approach challenges with curiosity and innovation, relying on creative and logical thinking to find effective solutions. Critical Thinkers at SHA are prepared to tackle complex issues thoughtfully and resourcefully.

Each of these ESLO awards reflects the qualities we hope to instill in our students, equipping them with the skills to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. We’re proud of our ESLO award recipients for their hard work, resilience, and commitment to embodying these values. Their achievements inspire all of us to strive for excellence and make a positive impact in the world.
