CHARACTER COUNTS

 

 

THE SIX PILLARS OF CHARACTER

 

About the Program

The CHARACTER COUNTS! program is designed to be implemented within the everyday teaching and learning. CHARACTER COUNTS! helps a student become a person of character, a person who knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do is right. People of character set a good example for everyone and lives according to the Six Pillars of Character.

 

The Founder


The CHARACTER COUNTS! program was created by Michael Josephson, founder of the Joseph and Edna Josephson Institute of Ethics, a nonprofit corporation he named after his parents. Through the Institute, he formed the CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition, a partnership of nearly 100 national and regional educational and youth-serving organizations that together reach over 40 million young people. Using its original curricula, the coalition has helped to combat youth violence, irresponsibility and dishonesty by stressing the development of character built on core ethical values, the “Six Pillars of Character.”

 

 

 

Congratulations to the

Students of the Month

The mission of MCHS is to prepare students for post-secondary success by equipping them intellectually, physically, socially, and ethically.  One way the school promotes this mission is to recognize eight students each month who exemplify quality characteristics defined by the Character Counts program.  Students are nominated by the faculty for this recognition.
