May 6, 2027– STARS in the Character Sky Zoom Celebration Event
Every November, Texas Character Education Week brings schools, families, and communities together to celebrate the values that strengthen individuals and society. Coinciding with the season of Thanksgiving, this special week provides a meaningful opportunity to reflect on gratitude, compassion, generosity, respect, and responsible citizenship.
Inspired by Texas House Bill 1026 (HB 1026) and its emphasis on positive character traits, our initiative encourages schools to make character development an intentional part of education. We believe that academic excellence and strong character go hand in hand in preparing students to become ethical, responsible, and caring citizens.
Character education is more than a week of celebration. It is a year-round commitment to building stronger schools, healthier communities, and a brighter future for Texas.
