Character Mission:
Imagine Harrisburg Pike Community School values positive character development by encouraging all community members to be caring and supportive of one another to develop academic, social and emotional growth. As cooperative members of the Imagine community, we recognize that we are each accountable for motivating and challenging students, staff, parents and community members to exhibit positive character growth and academic achievement. As Imagine people, we are each responsible for creating a community that lays a foundation for life-long learners.
Our Character Pledge is recited daily to encourage camaraderie among our students and staff: Take care of yourself, take care of each other, and take care of this place.
We are Imagine!
It is our vision that all stakeholders will hold one another accountable for exhibiting positive character throughout life and help instill the character traits of responsibility, caring, perseverance, curiosity, creativity, integrity, trustworthy, cooperation, and effort in our students.
