Character Education
The administration of the Clover School District believes that character education is an important component of the overall instructional program. The district’s aim is to develop future citizens who are sound in mind, strong in body and healthy in spirit and heart.
Each school will follow the district’s plan for character education and will implement activities to teach and model the “character traits of the month” which are listed below.
