Honor Code

Mission and Statement of the EHS Honor Code

At Episcopal High School, we believe that academic and personal integrity are essential elements in creating a comfortable and trusting educational atmosphere for students, faculty, and school family. We encourage all students to extend their educational experiences beyond textbooks and academics. The School is responsible not only for developing students minds, but also for developing character, strong morals, and social responsibility. To accomplish this goal, each student must uphold and follow the Schools Honor Code. Our Honor Code is based on a system of mutual trust among students, faculty, and staff; it dictates that as members of the Episcopal High School community, we will not lie, cheat, steal, or plagiarize. Consisting of students and faculty who are elected or appointed, the Honor Council exists to demonstrate and ensure that honor and integrity are fundamental principles of our school. The primary focus is educational, not punitive.

Responsibilities of the School Community

For the Honor Code to work, students, faculty, and administrators must share the responsibility for promoting honor and for creating an atmosphere of trust. Therefore, we will ask both students and faculty to sign the Honor Code Pledge as a symbol of their commitment to the Honor Code.

EHS Honor Code Pledge
