Community members are invited to tell their stories as a way of encouraging students to embrace seven character attributes.

Joliet Township High School District 204 has made a concerted effort to counter student-on-student attacks by teaching seven character attributes: respect, integrity, confidence, responsibility, compassion, perseverance and tolerance. "This program is unique to Joliet Township High School," said Kristine Schlismann, JTHS community development director. "It's really what our group of stakeholders determined to be our core values." Joliet West High School and Joliet Central High …
