Harmony said that each year, Character.org, a national advocate and leader for character development in schools, certifies schools and districts at the state and national levels that demonstrate a dedicated focus on character development.
The organization says this has a positive effect on academic achievement, student behavior, and school climate, according to the news release.

Previous winners from Harmony West Texas District include:

El Paso ISD updates dress code
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso Independent School District has updated its student dress code for the upcoming 2025-26 school year, the district announced on Tuesday night, July 15. The new updated code reflects 'the district's commitment to creating inclusive student-centered campuses that honor the diversity of every learner and support families with clear, practical guidance,' the district said. This includes the introduction of universal uniform colors like white, gray and navy to make uniform shopping easier, the district said. The revised guidelines apply to elementary, middle, and high-school students. Among the requirements for high-school students include: appropriate shoes being worn at all times; tops must cover the entire chest, back and stomach area and must fully cover a student's undergarments; bottoms must be worn at or above the waist; and a student ID must be worn at all times. According to the district, key elements include: Simplified, practical expectations that support families in preparing students for school The introduction of universal uniform colors (white, gray, navy) to streamline uniform shopping and make transitions easier for students who may transfer within the district Flexibility that honors student expression within a positive, supportive school culture Dress code exceptions exist for the Young Women's STEAM Academy, Center for Career and Technology Education and Silva Magnet High School, the district said. The updated dress code was developed with input from campus leaders, educators, and families across the district, the district said. 'This updated dress code represents a forward-thinking approach that helps build school communities that promote a sense of belonging and policies that are clear and supportive of learning,' El Paso ISD Board of Trustees President Leah Hanany said. 'We want to make daily life easier for families and teachers and keep the focus on nurturing student growth.' Acting Superintendent Martha Aguirre said: 'El Paso ISD is working hard to provide clarity and consistency for families while making sure our campuses are places where every student can succeed. This dress code helps us set a standard that values inclusion, safety, and learning.' The full dress code guidelines for each grade level are now available on the district website.
