The Men and Ladies of Honor and the Honor Academy
WHO WE ARE We are The Men and Ladies of Honor, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, operating internationally, and based in Rowlett, Texas, where we are a proud member of the Rowlett Chamber of Commerce. Our program model began in an inner-city charter school in Dallas, Texas, thirteen years ago, as an after-school program implemented to address student misconduct and cultivate principles of honor and chivalry among essentially fatherless boys. The faith-based program expanded to multiple campuses, then other school districts across Texas and the U.S., to five other countries around the world, including Belize, Honduras, South Africa and Namibia.
In Fall 2014, we launched Honor Academy in Rowlett, Texas, where we are now based, with great success. Honor Academy is a community-based character education program, designed for delivery in public schools and recreation centers. WHERE WE WORK We have successful Honor programs operating in elementary, middle and high school campuses, at community centers, private schools, orphanages and churches. We partner with other service organizations to address community issues everywhere from inner cities to rural areas, working with city leadership, law enforcement, community leaders and a variety of ministries of all denominations.
HOW YOU CAN HELP US SPREAD THE HONOR IMPACT IN ROWLETT Through the City Development Block Grant, we have been awarded funds to enable us to place the newly launched Honor Academy Magazine in the hands of every qualified at-risk boy and girl in the Rowlett area. We are currently seeking additional distribution points for the book, to be released in late July. If you know of a group or location that would be interested in distributing Honor Academy Magazine, please contact Shelley Edwards at 972-222-2112. Application forms for individual children will be available at the Rowlett Community Centre beginning July 1st. If you are interested in starting a Men and Ladies of Honor group at your church, please contact Tony Rorie at 214-693-4183 or visit www.honorministries.org We have just also launched The Men of Honor Magazine, and Ladies of Honor Magazine, as well, enabling us to put the full curriculum in the hands of every participating student for only $15 each!
