Courage is one of the Guiding Principles we hope our students embrace while they are here at Quest. We teach these principles through the stories in our history.
I hope our students understand the courage it took to fight for Civil Rights. Many people took a stand in the face of hatred and racism and said, "Enough is Enough!" Martin Luther King Jr. will always be remembered for the speech he gave in Washington D.C. I hope however, our students will remember more than those powerful words- I hope they will embrace the courage he displayed and take their stand in the face of any hatred they observe in the world around them.
