Hart Early College Prep School Experiences Knights competing on Horseback through EAFK program!
Through a program called EAFK which is a character building program sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Northwest and North X Northeast, the students at Hart School in Austin learned from knights on horseback what skills it takes to be a real knight. The students will be learning the traits that knights possess and how they can live with those traits to become modern day knights and make right choices. Every six weeks, there is a knighting ceremony where each selected student from each class receives a medallion from a knight representing the current trait and then they become part of the Gallery of Champions at their school. This program teaches the students a code to live by and improves discipline at the school by at least thirty-five to fifty percent giving the teachers more valuable teaching time. The students and the Rotarians enjoyed watching the knights today.
