Vestavia Hills Elementary Liberty Park (VHELP) was recently chosen as a 2024 Alabama State School of Character by Character.org, whose efforts push for character education in schools across the country. Only two schools were chosen as 2024 Alabama recipients. “We are proud to be recognized as a State School of Character, a testament to our commitment in nurturing not just academic excellence, but the invaluable qualities that shape compassionate, resilient, good humans,” says principal Tiffany Marron via press release. Along with Vestavia Hills Elementary Cahaba Heights, Vestavia Hills Elementary West, and Vestavia Hills Elementary East, VHELP is the fourth elementary school in the Vestavia school system to be named a State School of Character. The 2024 National Schools of Character will be announced in May.
