Character Counts!
This year at Hohokam we have adopted six core ethical values that form the Pillars of Character. Read on to learn about each of these pillars and visit the link below to get additional information..

Six Pillar Mnemonics

To help young people remember the Pillars, some educators employ these creative devices.

Color Scheme
Each of the Six Pillars is associated with a different color.

• Trustworthiness: Blue — like "True Blue"
• Respect: Yellow or Gold — like the Golden Rule
• Responsibility: Green — as in being responsible for a garden or finances; or as in being solid and reliable like an oak
• Fairness: Orange — like dividing an orange into equal sections to share fairly with friends
• Caring: Red — like a heart
• Citizenship: Purple — as in the regal purple representing the state
