with the Coronado Human Relations Commission!

 

Dr. Jeffrey Felix, Superintendant of the CUSD, launched a new program in our schools in 2009.  Called "CHARACTER COUNTS", the program is administered by the Josephson Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.   CHARACTER COUNTS! is the most widely implemented approach to character education, reaching millions of youth.

 

is a framework centered on basic values called the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

is embraced by thousands of schools, communities, public agencies and nonprofit organizations for a simple reason — it works.

is not a curriculum or add-on, but a powerful means to advance curricular and behavioral goals.
