The Trinity Collegiate Honor Code

Having an Honor System to correspond with rules to govern a student body is one of the most time honored traditions in the academic realm. From the university level to the most prestigious of private schools, an Honor System is a tradition that not only holds students accountable in their academic pursuits, but also gives them specific moral guidelines which can assist in molding their young lives.

Trinity Collegiate School is an example of an institution that holds a student's honor, loyalty, and integrity above all else and seeks to maintain an environment that produces morally grounded individuals. Therefore, Trinity Collegiate maintains an Honor Code to which each student must adhere.

The Code states: "As a member of the Trinity Collegiate School community, I believe that a commitment to personal integrity is critical to my own development and to that of our school. I, therefore, pledge to abide by the principles of the honor code which are not to cheat, lie, or steal, nor to tolerate these activities by others."

Students sign all work submitted for a grade with the words "I Pledge" which symbolizes their commitment and binds them to the Honor Code.

The process of dealing with accusations of honor violations through an Honor Court is a matter that is taken very seriously. Each member of the Honor Court is nominated by his or her peers, endorsed by members of the faculty, and is ultimately appointed by the Head of School. If a student is suspected of an honor violation, then the student is referred to the discipline administrator and potentially the Honor Court. If the discipline administrator feels that the Honor Court is necessary, then the following procedures are enacted and are strictly adhered to for the purpose of maintaining the academic integrity of Trinity Collegiate School.
