Core Value of the Month for October | Integrity
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Intelligence plus character is the goal of true education.” At Collegiate, community members are expected to be honest and truthful, to advocate for their peers, and to consistently act in a way that is uplifting, dependable, and trustworthy. Doing the right thing even when no one is watching is the Collegiate Way. Academic integrity is required for all scholars, and they will take pride in their work and their efforts. More importantly, everyone at Collegiate is encouraged to find their internal purpose and drive to become more Christ-like. We believe integrity is developed by God’s grace within each person through a strong foundation in scripture, accountability for their choices, and restoration when needed. With the support of one another and the Holy Spirit, our actions are able to be a true reflection of who we are and who God desires us to be.

Merit Madness Wednesday, October 1

College Representative | Lipscomb University Thursday, October 2
A representative from Lipscomb University will be on campus to meet with high school students. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the admissions process, scholarships, campus life, and programs of study. High school students who are interested should make plans to attend and bring any questions they may have about college and the application process.
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.
