Moral and Civic Values
The Board of Trustees of the Fullerton Joint Union High School District
subscribes to the belief that public education must foster in students
an understanding of the moral values and civic responsibilities
that form the foundation of American society. It is important that
all school personnel promote in students the acceptance of commonly
held principles of right and wrong, concern for the welfare of others,
and respect for democratic practices. On October 4, 1994, the Board
of Trustees endorsed the following list of moral and civic values
and the accompanying definitions which are stated as behaviors exemplified
by students living up to these values.
Civic Duty
Demonstrates a commitment to the public good; works for the community
and cooperates with others; respects and participates in the democratic
process; observes all laws and rules; and resolves conflicts peacefully.
Compassion and Empathy
Demonstrates caring, concern, and sensitivity; exhibits tolerance;
treats others politely, mercifully, and with respect and dignity;
and renders service when needed.
Honesty
Tells truth; does not cheat, intentionally mislead, or steal;
possesses the courage to behave and conduct interactions with integrity;
exhibits consistency between words and actions; behaves in a fair
and straightforward manner; and conscientiously pursues and scrutinizes
evidence that supports the truth.
Perseverance
Exhibits patience and hard work in achieving goals; works, learns,
and pursues constructive goals, even in the face of adversity.
Respect
Treats all people equitably, justly, and fairly; affirms the worth
of self, others, property, and the environment through attitudes
and actions.
Responsibility
Accepts the necessity of being accountable and the consequences
of individual actions, reactions, and decisions; honors commitments;
demonstrates an active commitment to the welfare of self and others.
Students will have to make moral and ethical choices throughout
their lives. The goal of emphasizing moral and civic values in the
District's instructional programs is to provide the knowledge of
what an ethical choice is; to distinguish between what can be done
from what should be done; and to provide tools for maintaining the
strength and character of our successful American democratic society
and government.
