The Four Way Test Contest
The Rotary Club of Hunt Valley and The James W. Houck
Foundation, Inc., in partnership with Baltimore County Public
Schools and the Archdiocese of Baltimore, conduct The Four-Way
Test Contest as an ethics enrichment partnership in area
schools each year. The Four-Way Test, which has been
a guiding principle of Rotary International since 1943,
asks its members to ask themselves these four questions
when making any decision:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Participating local schools include:
Elementary Schools:
Fifth District, Prettyboy, Seventh District, Sparks, Warren,
St. Stephen, Pot Spring
Middle Schools:
Hereford, Cockeysville, St. Stephen
High Schools:
Hereford, Dulaney, Towson, Loch Raven
In January, the schools launch contests that encourage
students to creatively express their thoughts about the
ethics program. Elementary school students in grades
3 through 5 can develop a poster, 8th-grade middle school
students are encouraged to write a short essay for their
English classes, and high school students can write a speech
as part of their public speaking courses. The contest ends
in the middle of February and winners are announced in March.
Each April, the Rotary Club of Hunt Valley hosts an award
ceremony for all winners and their families, and the winning
speech-writers from the high schools perform their speeches.
Each winner receives a cash prize, and all participants
are eligible to receive a free meal from Honeybaked Ham
of Baltimore.
