Cooperation: Working with others to accomplish a common goal.
Responsibility: Meeting obligations by being reliable, accountable, and dependable to self and others.
Citizenship: Knowing, understanding, and displaying a high regard for rules, government, heritage, and for those who have served and sacrificed for community and country.
