Champions of Character
The Champions of Character Program was created in 2015 to recognize current day advocates for children who tirelessly seek to promote the mission, vision, and beliefs of the Baldwin-Whitehall School District. The award honors those who contribute to our present day student experience, making our schools a memorable, exceptional place to live, learn and prepare for the future. Champions of Character are recognized at the Distinguished Highlander Hall of Fame gala.
