CHARACTER COUNTS
We strongly support the Character Counts Program and the six pillars of
character. The six pillars are:
- TRUSTWORTHINESS: A person of character is trustworthy, lives with
integrity, is honest, reliable and loyal.
- RESPECT: A person of character values all persons, lives by the Golden
Rule, respects the dignity, privacy and freedom of others, is courteous and
polite to all and is tolerant and accepting of differences.
- RESPONSIBILITY: A person of character meets the demands of duty, is
accountable, pursues excellence, and exercises self-control.
- FAIRNESS: A person of character is fair and just, is impartial, listens, and
is open to differing viewpoints.
- CARING: A person of character is caring, compassionate, kind, loving,
considerate, and charitable.
- CITIZENSHIP: A person of character is a good citizen, does his or her
share, helps the community, plays by the rules, and respects authority and
law.
