๐Ÿงก Character is the catalyst for learning.

Dr. Ketina Armstrong, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning at Meramec Valley R-III, has spent more than 30 years proving that when schools prioritize character, students and communities thrive.

From leading multiple schools to National School of Character recognition to ensuring staff across departments are trained in character education, her leadership shows whatโ€™s possible when values are embedded into every part of a district.

We celebrate leaders like Dr. Armstrong who make character the foundation of success.
