Character Education Program for Rhea County

                                                                  Contact person – Sue Brown

The Rhea County School System, in conjunction with the community, developed a Character Education Program.  The program mirrored the one developed and implemented for Hamilton County in 1998-99 by Dr. Philip Vincent from the Character Development Group in Chapel Hill, N.C.  The program emphasizes one trait each month.  The traits are what most people consider universal virtues: respect, responsibility, perseverance, caring, self-discipline, citizenship, honesty, courage, and fairness.
