The T1L1 community mentoring program has been at Hamilton Heights for six years. Teams of caring adult mentors meet weekly with students throughout the school year. The mentors lead the students in a discussion of 10 Universal Principles that are essential for student leaders to possess if they are to find their purpose and reach their potential. The 10 Universal Principles are respect, integrity, self-control, compassion, courage, teamwork, excellence, humility, enthusiasm, and honor. Students are encouraged to find ways to put these principles into action.
Hamilton Heights was the first school district in Indiana to host a T1L1 community mentoring group. It currently serves six school districts in Central Indiana. For more information on T1L1, go to T1L1.org.
