This prestigious honor is awarded to a handful of schools across the country in recognition of outstanding programs that encourage the social, ethical and academic development of students through character education. Sponsored by the Character Education Partnership (CEP), a national nonprofit coalition based in Washington, D.C., the annual award recognizes public and private schools demonstrating exemplary character education initiatives that yield positive results.

Values Program

  • We instill Christian-based values in each student through our values program by highlighting values in the curriculum and classroom on a daily basis. We emphasize two values a month that teachers can build lessons around.
  • January: Caring and Patience
  • February: Love and Honesty
  • March: Kindness and Forgiveness
  • April: Courage and Tolerance
  • May: Helpfulness and Perseverance
  • June: Politeness and Neatness
  • July: Citizenship and Loyalty
  • August: Cooperation and Sportsmanship
  • September: Respect and Attentiveness
  • October: Sharing and Self-Control
  • November: Thankfulness and Responsibility
  • December: Joyfulness and Wisdom

 

Values are as important as learning and good manners will never go out of style.
