Hamilton Township School District (HTSD) was a National District of Character Finalist in 2008. The HTSD mission statement, A Quality Education for Every Student, provides the template for the Teaching and Living Character (TLC) team to embody its philosophy: Rooted in Values, Growing in Knowledge and its vision to see the students become caring, productive citizens of the world community in 100% of its school sites. While the Board of Education policies and procedures sustain TLC’s philosophy and vision, instruction is the vehicle that provides students with opportunities to engage in curricular activities promoting moral and performance character. The Committee for Safe and Civil Schools in HTSD recommended that instruction in violence prevention and character education be included in the district’s strategic plan and become an integral part of their school community culture. HTSD actively engages administrators, all staff members, parents, and community members in its Character education initiatives.

"Helping others in the community can always bring up someone's spirits, especially if it's for such a noble cause." – Hamilton Township Middle School Student
