The Flint Energies Foundation granted Taylor County High School's new Viking Values program $5,000 on January 9, 2025 . The TCHS Viking Values program is based on a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) framework and is a new initiative for the 2024-2025 school year designed to improve school culture and climate.
The Viking Values Program promotes positive behaviors and academic success by offering quarterly celebrations, student of the week awards, and student of the month awards. It is designed to recognize those students who meet behavioral expectations and academic goals by providing rewards like pizza lunches, desserts, and time away from the classroom to play games and socialize. The first semester implementation of this program has been very successful at TCHS.
The Flint Energies Foundation provides grants to local non-profits such as this one using money donated by Flint Energies consumer members through Operation Round Up®. The electric cooperative’s members contribute $175,000 annually to the Flint Energies Foundation, which supports worthy causes in the 17 counties it serves.
TCHS is thankful for Flint Energies investment in our Viking Values program!
