Hooray at School
Practical ways for students, teachers, and school leaders to notice the people and actions that help a school community thrive.
Two paths. One culture.
Hooray at School helps adults model gratitude and gives students meaningful ways to lead it.
Staff-led culture building
Professional development and ready-to-use practices help teachers and administrators make gratitude visible throughout the school.
Student-led Hooray Squad
A group of student leaders meets regularly to plan and lead gratitude throughout the school. We provide the playbook; students bring the energy.
How it works
Select the model that fits your school.
Prepare staff or student leaders.
Start simple gratitude activities.
Track the people reached and habits built.
The student-led model
A Hooray Squad is a small team of middle or high school students who meet weekly or every other week to make appreciation visible across campus.
A simple meeting rhythm
Most Squads can huddle in 25–35 minutes. Every meeting follows the same repeatable rhythm.
What students can lead
Recognize custodians, cafeteria teams, office staff, bus drivers, and others who keep school moving.
Turn noticing the good into a creative schoolwide challenge.
Plan a joyful week of appreciation led by students.
