In response to the middle school child’s changing profile and their firm belief that they must take a more active role in addressing the social and emotional issues facing their students; Lake Riviera Middle School formed a Character Education Committee in the fall of 1999. In recognizing this compelling need, they made character education the keystone in Lake Riviera’s mission and over time it has become synonymous with their school culture – imbedded in their daily practices, curriculum, service-learning and community involvement. In the years since Lake Riviera initiated their program, they have refined and strengthened their commitment to character education through service-learning.

“Lake Riviera, with character education is the pride of Ocean County.” – Margo Melegari, Outback Community Relations Liaison
