CHARACTER COUNTS!

Our East County school community recognizes the importance of character development for all students. It recognizes that the work of parents at home in instilling core values should also be supported at school. To address this issue, the Grossmont Union High School District is emphasizing a character education program based on the nationally recognized and acclaimed CHARACTER COUNTS!SM Program, under the leadership of Michael Josephson.
