In January 2009, The Plainfield Public Schools introduced a Character Education Initiative.  This initiative provides an opportunity for Plainfield’s students to be exposed to important values which will help them not only develop into successful students in school but become successful citizens and human beings in life.  Each month, schools submit their “Student of the Month” for the respective values, along with the appropriate justification.  Students are recognized at the Board of Education Business Meetings.

Below are the Character Education Traits of the Month.
