A Binding Contract
I, ___________________ pledge, as a member of the Saint Gertrude Community,
on my Honor, not to lie, cheat, or steal in either my academic or personal
life. I understand that such acts violate the Honor Code and undermine
the community of trust of which we are all stewards. I have a clear understanding
of the basis, spirit, and interpretation of the Honor system, and I will
do all in my power to make the ideal of honor, in its highest sense,
prevail among my fellow students. If at any time I should violate either
the letter or the spirit of this pledge, I shall accept full responsibility
for myself.
It is understood that before signing this binding contract that you are
expected to make yourself aware of the expectations and responsibilities
inherent in the Honor System. Each student is expected to know what
behavior constitutes an Honor Code violation and how to avoid such
behavior. Ignorance is not an excuse for violating the Honor Code.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following should be attached to every graded
activity:
I pledge that I have upheld all aspects of
the SGHS Honor Code in the execution of this assignment.
