In order to establish an environment of trust, nobility, and honor at Collegiate, the Honor Code stresses individual and corporate integrity. This code stands as an affirmation of values and therefore facilitates the transition from our Collegiate community to the world at large.
The Collegiate School of Memphis Honor Council is charged with upholding the virtues of the school’s Honor Code. Honor Council members are elected by their peers in an election at the beginning of each school year. In the event of serious or repeated violations, having proved an unwillingness to participate in the school’s culture of honesty and trust, a student may face expulsion from The Collegiate School of Memphis. The Honor Code and Honor Council represent the high moral expectations of Collegiate and seek to be a positive influence toward building a community of trust.
See the appendix for the Collegiate Code of Conduct with additional information regarding expectations, negative behaviors, merits and demerits, unacceptable behavior, the Honor Code, and the Honor Council.
The Honor Code statement, “I have neither given nor received aid on this academic effort” may be written on any given assignment followed by the student’s signature. The student signature declares that they have upheld the honor code for that work.
