Honor Code

The Honor Code is designed to protect the honesty of our students and the integrity of their academic achievement. The promotion of character education creates an atmosphere of trust and respect in our school community.

The Honor Code states:

• I will not lie, cheat, or steal in giving assistance or receiving assistance in my academic endeavors.

• I will forthrightly oppose each and every instance of academic dishonesty.

• I will give prompt notification to the appropriate teacher when I have witnessed any student who has given or received information of a dishonest nature.

Cheating is defined as the willful and/or intentional giving or obtaining information from an outside source and presenting it as your own. This shall include talking or communicating during a test period or session while a test is being administered to a class or any part thereof.

The penalty for the first cheating offense will result in a call home to your parent/guardian and possibly a zero on the assignment.  The second offense will result in a zero on the assignment, a call to your parent/guardian, and a disciplinary consequence.
