Six campuses from Harmony Public Schools have been honored as 2024 "National Schools of Character" for their exemplary efforts in fostering cultures of character within their schools and communities. This prestigious recognition was announced by Character.org, a leading national advocate for character development in educational institutions.

Character.org annually certifies schools and districts at both the state and national levels, acknowledging their commitment to character development, which has been shown to positively influence academic achievement, student behavior, and school climate.
