McRae Elementary School

Becoming a CKH National Showcase Schools® (NSS) Awardee is a high aspiration and a recognition of excellence. This award recognizes outstanding school administrators, teaching staff, and faculty for producing exemplary outcomes with the Capturing Kids' Hearts® Process. CKH National Showcase Schools are selected based on CKH trainers’ visits to schools, their interviews with staff and students, and a final analysis of results by the CKH leadership team. CKH is a highly acclaimed, research-based program that helps build relational capacity between students and the staff that works with them every day. CKH focuses on the core values of Empathy, Self-Direct, Teamwork, Responsibility, Respect, Kindness, Courage, Perseverance, and Integrity. The program works to foster positive classroom and school cultures. We look forward to seeing if we are awarded this recognition in April.
