We’re grateful for another day together at Collegiate, a place where we grow in knowledge, faith, and community. Each day is an opportunity to encourage one another, celebrate our gifts, and honor God in all we do. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Policy Highlight | Honor Code & Honor Council
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.

Day of Service & Fall Carnival
Dear parent or guardian,
On Friday morning, September 26th, the entire Collegiate School of Memphis student body will be taking part in the inaugural CSM Day of Service. The CSM Day of Service is intended to expose CSM scholars to what God is doing in the city of Memphis and give each scholar an opportunity to participate in that work. Our prayer is that God will bring our Collegiate community closer together and that our scholars develop a life-long love of serving others.
Scholars will be transported by bus to various ministries, non-profits, and organizations around the city and will perform service projects at those locations. Each location will be supervised by Collegiate faculty and staff. We are excited to have the opportunity to serve our city together as a community. Possible service projects include cleaning, painting, organizing, landscaping, and litter removal. Scholars should wear their Day of Service 2025 Collegiate shirt along with long pants and shoes they do not mind getting dirty. They
are also encouraged to bring work gloves or gardening gloves if they have them.
The school day will begin normally with scholars reporting to Community Groups before 8:15 a.m. Scholars will then travel to their worksites and will return to Collegiate by 11:30 p.m. for lunch and a school carnival. Dismissal will be at 3:30 p.m. as usual. Permission slips will be going home with your scholar on Tuesday, September 16th and will need to be turned in by Tuesday, September 23rd, 2024. Scholars will return the permission form to the front desk.
If you have any questions, please email me at mhoyle@collegiatememphis.org.
