Woodridge Elementary has been recognized as a 2025 National School of Character by the organization Character.org.
Seventy-one schools nationwide were certified as National Schools of Character. This is the second time Woodridge has earned this distinction; they were first honored in 2020.
Last year, Cambridge and Howard were recognized as National Schools of Character.
Character.org certifies schools and districts each year at the national level that have developed and implemented an intentional, proactive, and comprehensive approach that embeds character into all aspects of school life. To be considered at the national level, schools are first designated as State Schools of Character.
The designation is valid for five years and is the highest honor bestowed upon schools by Character.org.
Alamo Heights ISD has partnered with Character.org since October 2016 to implement the 11 Principles of Effective Character Education.
