HCPSS Schools Recognized for Character Development

July 11th, 2017

Pointers Run and St. John’s Lane elementary schools, and Thomas Viaduct Middle School have received Maryland Center for Character Education at Stevenson University School of the Year awards. The award honors schools throughout Maryland who have instituted, developed and are continuing comprehensive character education initiatives in their school communities.

The schools were honored for creating programs that encourage strength of character in others and give staff and students opportunities to do what they do best every day. The school staff shares responsibility for character education and adheres to the same core values that guide the education of students.

The schools will be recognized at an awards program on October 5, 2017, at the Rockland Center on the Owings Mills Campus of Stevenson University. Each recognized school will receive a specially designed “School of the Year” banner along with a certificate of recognition from the Maryland Center for Character Education at Stevenson University.
