As we continue to take time to remember past Dignity & Respect champions, let us honor
Leonard Carter, May 2010 Dignity & Respect honoree for his work as a coach and teacher. Leonard Carter wants to create a gigantic circle of respect as he prepares a generation of children for life through his football coaching and music teaching. “I teach them a lot about the Golden Rule, to treat other people the way you want to be treated, and that is your responsibility – even if others are not treating you with respect,” he said. “If we all operated that way, we’d live in a much happier world.”
Carter works every day to create an environment of inclusion for children as he is a music teacher at Conroy Education Center and also as a football coach at Peabody High School in East Liberty. Carter, the recipient of the Dignity and Respect Campaign Champion Award for the month of May, was nominated by Arlene Petite, who said he provides opportunities for all students to learn music and life lessons at the highest level possible. Carter lives his life in a way that directly represents the Dignity and Respect Campaign’s mission – to achieve cultural and behavioral change in lives, organizations, and communities by ensuring that inclusion is at the core of what people do each day.
