We are a NJ District of Character!

It has been said that “People of character do the right thing even if no one is looking.” We have a lot of those people within Lawrence Township Public Schools!

Take a look at a day of the character education thread joining grades PreK to 12:


The New Jersey Alliance for Social, Emotional and Character Development (NJASECD) has selected Lawrence Township Public Schools (LTPS) as a 2014 New Jersey District of Character. Cindy Westhead, LIS Assistant Principal, led the committee that drafted the district application.

LTPS will maintain this status for three years and the respective applications have been forwarded to the Character Education Partnership (CEP) in Washington, D.C. for consideration in the National Schools/District of Character program. This is the first time our district received the distinction. The district will be honored at a special recognition ceremony during the NJASECD Conference at Rider University on March 19.
