Character Counts!
The Park District of Highland Park, along with other
community leaders and organizations, is proud to
be a part of Character Counts!, a program teaching
children the six pillars of character: Citizenship,
Caring, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility and Trustworthiness.
Children are 27% of our population but 100% of the future. The
direction they go depends on us. The Park District of Highland
Park wants to help build the character of the next generation!
