Empowering Students with GRiT: A Bold Approach to Building Resilience and Leadership in North Fond du Lac

At Horace Mann High School, students are learning more than just academics—they’re building resilience, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills that will serve them for life.

The GRiT program, a cutting-edge relational intelligence curriculum, is transforming how students show up in the classroom, their communities, and their future careers. With mounting concerns about student mental wellness, disengagement, and a lack of essential soft skills, GRiT provides a proven, structured approach to developing self-leadership, accountability, and emotional regulation.

Designed to equip students with the tools to navigate stress, take initiative, and work collaboratively, GRiT is making a measurable impact on student outcomes.

Early implementations of GRiT have shown significant improvements in student resilience, attendance, and overall mental wellness. Schools utilizing GRiT have reported:
● Increased student ownership over their learning and personal growth
● Decreases in disciplinary incidents and classroom disruptions
● Stronger emotional regulation and impulse control among students
● More engagement in leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving initiatives

GRiT is a relational intelligence program designed to fill the gap in student development by teaching emotional intelligence, character, and leadership skills that translate into real-world success. Rooted in neuroscience and applicable to students and professionals alike, GRiT is helping shape schools into communities where students take responsibility, rise to challenges, and lead with confidence.
