The Character Counts! Student Ambassador of the Month is a community outreach effort by the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force and Savannah Chatham County Public School System’s Pupil Personnel Services Department in partnership with WTOC. The Character Counts!

This may or may not be the “model” student, but it is a student who has made significant progress toward becoming a better individual.

Students can be nominated by a teacher, counselor, social worker, court employee, community member, or the Character Counts! Advisory Board.
