Ongoing anti-bullying curriculum, Monthly Family Engagement Activities, Journalism Club, Ambassadors- a student leadership club that promotes positive behavior and kindness amongst their peers. After-school tutoring

ASU’s American Dream Academy courses beginning this month so our parents can gain an understanding of what they can do at home to support their child academically and prepare for a college education

Students at Lee Kornegay recite a student value statement each day, reinforcing the positive attributes of what it means to be a Vandal.

At Lee Kornegay,

we are kind; we are honest;

we give compliments; we laugh a lot;

we make mistakes;

we have big dreams;

we are peaceful; we work hard;

we never give up!

We are Vandals!
