Logo of Character Counts, featuring colorful blocks representing the core values of trustworthiness, respect, and responsibility.

 

 

Character Counts has 6 pillars: Caring, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, and Citizenship. This poster shows different ways students can exhibit each trait.

Character Counts is a framework that helps students grow into caring, responsible, and respectful citizens. Rooted in the Six Pillars of Character—Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship—Character Counts is woven into daily learning and school culture. Through lessons, conversations, and real-world applications, students are encouraged to make positive choices and build strong character. We are proud to share that our school earned Character Counts Exemplary Status for the 2025 school year, recognizing our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive, and values-driven community.
