Dinuba High School recently named 22 students as Emperors of the Month. The students were recognized for showing character qualities such as excellence, maturity, perseverance and safety. The students are all part of the school’s Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports program, a program that looks to reward students for their good behavior rather than discipline them for their unwanted behavior.
Each student was recommended by a staff member at Dinuba High School. Here is what the different staff members said about this month’s Emperors of the Month.

Moreover, he also expresses empathy and care for others. This sets him apart from the rest and why he deserves this award.”
