The Community Character Coalition of Douglas County is in business to support a principle that is so well illustrated by a quote from former President Teddy Roosevelt.  He said, "To educate a child in mind and not morals is to create a menace to society."  The principle clearly states that there are standards of right and wrong behavior that transcend academic skills.  Some forms of behavior are acceptable others are not if a community is to survive and thrive.  The state of Georgia recognized the need for character education in public schools in the late nineties.  The Character Coalition exists to advocate teaching and demonstrating positive moral character in all arenas, businesses, schools, families, and others.  We are able to put any interested party in touch with resources to accomplish that purpose. If you are interested in the idea of training your students, employees, or other family members on the subject of positive moral character and work ethics, the Coalition is standing by to help.
