Heritage Academy Honor Code

​Honor Code

As character witnesses for Jesus Christ it is our responsibility to be persons of integrity, striving to honor God in our academic pursuits and relationships with others. Heritage Academy strives to encourage a healthy Christian community with students, teachers, staff and parents.  Every year we ask that teachers, staff and students affirm (1) their responsibility as members of the Heritage family, (2) their belief in the core values of Heritage Academy, and (3) their agreement with the code of conduct and dress code by signing an Honor Code Pledge.   An example of the Honor Code Pledge can be dowloaded here.

Code of Conduct
​
Heritage Academy’s Code of Conduct identifies specific actions, attitudes, and character the school expects Heritage Academy students to exhibit as they participate in school community. While conduct on campus and at school-sponsored activities is of obvious importance, actions and attitudes lived off of campus can be just as constructive or harmful to family and school relationships as behavior clearly viewed in the classroom or at school functions.  This being said, Heritage Academy considers the general expectations stated below to reach beyond mere on-campus conduct. 

Heritage Academy expects that students enrolled at Heritage Academy will:

• Express love for God and for others through acts of kindness, wholesome and uplifting speech, redemptive expressions of confrontation and forgiveness, merciful acts to those in need, and loving proclamation of the gospel.
• Practice integrity and self-control, truthfulness in speech, honesty in conduct, and moral purity in thought, word and action.
• Pursue excellence in all that he/she does as an expression of gratitude to God and a desire to be a good steward of God’s gifts.
• Respectfully submit to federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

These additional elements of the Code of Conduct apply to students on campus and during events sponsored by Heritage Academy and to those supporting Heritage Academy during extracurricular activities:

• An appropriate title (Mr., Mrs., Coach, etc.) should be used when a student is addressing an adult.
• The school facility and grounds will be kept clean, orderly, and in a condition that shows an attitude of gratefulness.
• There will be no running or rough play during or between classes.
• Use of profanity is prohibited.
• Public displays of affection between sexes, such as hand holding, kissing, etc., are prohibited.
• The possession or use of tobacco products, illicit drugs, alcohol, or weapons is prohibited.
• Students may carry pagers, cell phones, and other communication devices, but they must be turned off and stowed in bags, backpacks, etc. during school hours.
