Upon graduation, a signed, formal certificate will be provided for students who earn the distinction to present to future colleges and/or employers. Per our policy, students graduating with a district-developed work ethic distinction shall be recognized at their graduation ceremony. This distinction will be useful for presentation to future employers for work-based learning, apprenticeships, and employment in a chosen field after graduation. Employers throughout Tennessee have indicated that students who present a document such as this, indicating desirable work habits will be given preference for interviews. To earn such a distinction, students must exhibit certain characteristics by earning points on this Work Ethic Distinction form.
