Traditions
The school has a Conduct Council, where three alternate prefects and two alternating faculty convene with the faculty conduct chair in order to determine a recommendation of punishment for students who have committed a level one offense or various level two and/or three offenses.
There is also an Honor Council that hears the cases of students who have broken the honor code. This body is meant to be more constructive than disciplinary, and the members discuss the offenses of the students with them in order to achieve a sort of reconciliation between the student and the school.
The traditional football rival of Asheville School (Blues) is Christ School (Greenies).
The traditional Asheville School dessert is the Asheville School banana: a banana covered in lemon juice and sugar. The dessert is also featured on Vineyard Vines ties, bags, and belts which are sold in the school store.
Asheville School students are expected to maintain a well-groomed, well-dressed appearance. For boys, classroom dress includes jackets and ties; for girls, a dress skirt, jumper, or dress slacks with a blazer. Some substitutions may be permitted according to the season. Neat casual dress is required at other times.
Every fall the campus spends a day at Camp Rockmont in Black Mountain, NC.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“Napoleon never wished to be justified. He killed his enemy according to Corsican traditions [le droit corse] and if he sometimes regretted his mistake, he never understood that it had been a crime.”
—Guillaume-Prosper, Baron De Barante (1782–1866)
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
