Honesty
•You are expected to do original work on all of your
assignments.
•Presenting somebody else’s words and ideas asyour own (plagiarism) is dishonest, and will resultin a “0” on the assignment.
•Your character is one of your most importantassets – don’t sell yourself cheaply.

Circle of Honor
I have been asked what I mean by my “word of honor”:
I will tell you.Place me behind prison walls – stone, ever so
high, ever so thick – there is a possibility that in some way I may
be able to escape.
But stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me,
and have me give my word of honor never to cross it.
Can I get out of that circle?No, never! I would die first.
-- Karl G. Maeser
