The first two qualities of a Phoenix are:

Courage - Standing for what is right.

Students who practice courage operate on ethical "principles" and are not swayed by what is popular or easy.

Respect - There are four key elements of respect: attention, deference, valuing, and appropriate conduct.

Students who are respectful understand when their attention is required, defer to appropriate authority, value the actions and opinions of others and conduct themselves appropriately in various situations.
