Honor Code Pledge

Pledge

The following Honor Code Pledge will be recited by all Peninsula Catholic High School Students at the beginning of the school year:

“On my honor, I will not cheat, lie, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.”

This pledge is posted in all classrooms.

On written assignments, students will write, “I abide by the Honor Code.” Their signature will follow this statement.
By reciting the pledge and by writing and signing the statement, the student claims that he or she will not violate or has not violated any part of the honor code, which includes: cheating, attempting to cheat, plagiarizing, lying, stealing, or failing to report an act of dishonesty to the proper authority.

For cooperative work to be acceptable under the Honor Code, the teacher must specifically make such an assignment. Otherwise the student is to assume that the work must be done individually. Each teacher will address the Honor Code as it pertains to his/her class in the class syllabus.
