Honor Code  

Students are strongly encouraged to lead by personally reinforcing the values embodied in The Hill School Honor Code. The Hill School Honor Code was conceived by students to promote an environment of mutual trust and respect. We believe that students should uphold the principles of truth, honor, and integrity in all of their intellectual, athletic, and social pursuits. This belief is based on the notion that every student is a responsible individual with an inherent desire to be an honorable person. This responsibility includes a student’s duty to oneself and others to sustain a system of moral values, even in the face of adversity, surely a sign of true leadership.

An honor pledge should accompany each paper or test, at the discretion of each teacher. The pledge simply states, "On my honor, I pledge that I have neither given nor received unpermitted aid during this test, paper, assignment, or examination."

Honor Council  

The Hill’s Honor Council includes 11 members, including the Assistant Headmaster for Student Life, serving as an adviser; a faculty chair; two appointed faculty members; and seven elected student leaders (fourth though sixth form only). The Honor Council serves many functions. First, the Honor Council educates and informs the School community about issues relating to the Honor Code, including academic honesty and personal integrity. Second, the Honor Council convenes to hear cases involving honor violations. Third, the Honor Council serves as an advisory board to the Dean’s office.
