Honor Code
St. Pius X High School feels strongly that promoting the personal integrity of the administration, faculty, staff, and students is essential to the development of the total Christian person. It is the realization of the Mission statement. This CODE OF HONOR was developed to create an atmosphere of integrity for learning.
Academic Honesty:
Preparation for classes, homework, tests, and term papers must be the result of each person’s own efforts. Likewise, all teachers’ preparation, corrections, and class syllabi must be performed professionally to meet high academic standards. It is, therefore, unacceptable by the ethical standards of this HONOR CODE for students to use another’s classwork and/or homework, to cheat on tests, or fail to properly cite references in MLA format just as it is unacceptable for teachers to conduct ill-prepared classes, fail to correct tests, papers, or projects in a timely fashion, or fail to prepare a syllabus for class.
Ethical Integrity:
Respect for other persons’ reputations, respect for others’ personal properties, respect for others’ family backgrounds and others’ religious affiliations demands the utmost ethical conduct by the entire community of St. Pius X High School both on and off campus. Ethical integrity forbids inappropriate use of electronic devices, all signs of disrespect to other persons, all acts of stealing, all acts of vandalism, all racial, sexist, and religious slurs, all gossip, all inappropriate language, and all acts of violence toward other people.
Social Conduct:
Courtesy and proper manners at all times, within and after the school day, are the foundation on which the HONOR CODE must function. “Please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me” are external signs that the HONOR CODE is functioning. As a member of the St. Pius X High School community, each student, faculty, and staff member must understand that his or her conduct on and off campus directly reflects upon the reputation of St. Pius X High School and of the individual.
The purpose of the HONOR CODE is to state officially St. Pius X High School’s commitment to moral excellence as an essential element of producing citizens of character for the community. A person who chooses to live within the spirit of the CODE will be truthful, fair, respectful of another person’s feelings, rights and property, and will be truly committed to the Christian values that St. Pius X High School was established to promote
