The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

A large portion of the culture at Maria-Catalyst High School is centric to creating college-readiness for students. The school does an amazing job of teaching academic gumption and follow-through, preparation, and tenacity in academics.

Author Sean Covey wrote "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" as a way to guide teens (and their parents) through the trials, tribulations, and hardships of the age.

The system is fairly simple-- a routine centered around personal responsibility, getting rid of procrastination, and prioritizing.

1. Be Proactive

2. Begin with the End in Mind

3. Put First Things First

4. Think Win-Win

5. Seek to Understand, Then to be Understood

6. Synergize

7. Sharpen the Saw

With any personal development comes a great amount of work and perseverance. Nothing worth doing is ever easy-- and that includes bettering yourself, intrinsically. 

Our scholars are making huge strides every day-- and we applaud their achievements!
