Knightly Virtue: Knowledge

Every month at Springville Junior High School a knightly virtue is chosen.  Having a knightly virtue challenges students to strive to become better people.  Throughout the month, teachers look for students that are good examples of that month’s virtue.  The students that are chosen by the most teachers receive the Super Knight Award.  At the beginning of each Super Knight Assembly, a video is shown on the virtue for the next month.  In the video, the student council narrates a few famous quotes on the subject.  The virtue for November is knowledge.

Mrs. Maughan, English teacher at SJHS, said, “I would define knowledge as learning something new, gaining wisdom, and applying it.  To have knowledge makes you a more well-rounded person.  It doesn't necessarily just mean you're smart, but you know more about the world and others to make wise choices.” 

According to Sarah Mitchell, a ninth grader at Springville Junior High School, knowledge is power, and no one can succeed without knowledge.
