  3. The Honor Code • I resolve to uphold the Honor Code of the Magnet Program at Strawberry Crest High School. I will refrain from all forms of academic dishonesty

  4. The Honor Code • I will not lie, cheat, or steal in my academic endeavors

  5. The Honor Code • I understand that I should forthrightly oppose each and every instance of academic dishonesty

  6. The Honor Code • I should communicate directly with any person or persons I believe to have been dishonest. Such communication may be oral or written. Written communication may be signed or anonymous

  7. The Honor Code • I should give prompt written notification to the appropriate faculty member and to the Honor Council Coordinator

  8. The Honor Code • I will let my conscience guide my decision about whether my written report will name the person or persons I believe to have committed a violation of the code.

  9. The Honor Code • Honor and integrity and responsibility are not innate; they are taught and they are nurtured. The Honor Code views the cultivation of such characteristics to be the joint responsibility of all members of the Strawberry Crest Magnet community. It is thus our collective duty to create an environment where those characteristics may be acquired.

  10. The Honor Code • Academic honesty and integrity are essential to the existence and growth of any academic community. Without a high standard of honesty and conduct, the reputations of both the school and the student suffer. I will not bring dishonor upon myself or my school.

  11. The Honor Code • I understand that breaches of the Honor Code may result in my not receiving the IB Diploma. IB will not award a grade to any student work which violates the code of academic honesty

  12. Rationale All IB Students at SCHS are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity

  13. Cheating is wrong…. Student mature enough to participate and benefit from a rigorous academic program should also possess the maturity to accept a low grade when they have earned it

  16. Cheating is wrong… Cheating misrepresents the student’s achievement to teachers, parents, and colleges
