Character Education is a priority in the Johnston County Schools. Through a variety of means, schools in the district promote character education through rewards, bulletin boards, presentations, and interactive lessons. Each month, selected schools present their outstanding character education student to the Board of Education. All schools are involved throughout the school year.

The Johnston County Schools Board of Education recognized several students at the November 10th Board of Education meeting for demonstrating outstanding character. These students were nominated because their actions and behavior clearly typify the character education trait of “Responsibility” which means being accountable for your own actions.

The following students are pictured, left to right, with Dr. Ed Croom, Superintendent of Johnston County Schools and Larry Strickland, Chairman of the Johnston County Schools Board of Education:
