Personal Responsibility of NTHS Students
As a student at Niles Township High Schools, you are expected to be aware of and to accept your individual responsibilities in the following areas:
The Teaching-Learning Process: You deserve the best instruction that the Niles Township High Schools are capable of providing. For the efforts of the teachers to be as successful as possible and for you to work and achieve to the best of your ability, you must cooperate with the teachers.
Respect for the Rights of Others: Your rights must be balanced against the rights of others, and their rights must be balanced against yours. The purpose of the school and the requirements of the educational process must be weighed in deciding who has a right to do what, and what behavior is acceptable.
Responsibility for Your Own Actions: If you choose to follow bad examples set by a few of the other students at Niles Township High Schools, you will be held responsible for your actions and your actions only. The decision will be yours, and so will the consequences. Your first responsibility, then, is to decide how you should conduct yourself while you are at school. Your second responsibility is to be prepared to accept the consequences of your actions.
