CHARACTER COUNTS!

Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards
Academic year 2003-04

The annual Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards honor middle and high school students whose lives and achievements demonstrate an enduring commitment to qualities associated with good character. 

The students are nominated by the faculty of their schools and submit an essay on personal values. Academics are not considered in this award, which is based on students’ demonstration of character and being a role model to others.

The awards are named in honor of the late Joe Kordick, founding chairman and driving force of CHARACTER COUNTS! in Martin County.

This year, the students' essay was based on this scenario:

As mayor of your town, you have just learned that your town has the highest rate of under-age drinking and use of illegal drugs in the state. Create a plan that would provide some methods for the community to combat this problem.

The following students were winners and finalists for the 2003-2004 Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards. The awards ceremony was March 24, 2004, at the Blake Library in Stuart.
