About the California Schools of Character (CSOC) awards program

In 2006, CYC announced the creation of the California Schools of Character (CSOC) awards program. Sponsored by CYC, the annual awards program recognizes schools or districts that demonstrate an outstanding character education initiative that yields positive results in student behavior, school climate, and academic performance. One applicant is chosen each year as California’s nominee to the national level competition, conducted by the Character Education Partnership.

California Schools of Character and Promising Practices are honored annually at the Highest Office: Citizen Community Forum and during special recognition assemblies at their school sites.

To be eligible, a school must have been engaged in character education for a minimum of three full years, starting no later than December 2003 for the 2007 awards. Districts need to have been engaged in character education for a minimum of four full years, starting no later than December 2002.
