At Brogden Middle School, we believe that learning extends beyond academics. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is essential to helping students become well-rounded, resilient individuals who thrive both in and out of the classroom. Through SEL, students develop vital life skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship-building, and responsible decision-making.

To support this growth, Brogden utilizes Character Strong as our SEL platform.

Character Strong is a research-based program designed to weave SEL and character development into the fabric of school life. It equips students and educators with tools to:

  • Build strong, supportive relationships

  • Promote mental wellness

  • Make ethical, compassionate choices

  • Foster a positive school culture

Character Strong includes engaging lessons, student activities, and professional development for staff—all focused on preparing students for both academic success and a life full of meaningful connections and personal integrity.
