Honor Code
As part of its mission to produce citizens who are prepared for leadership and service, the academy has a Cadet Honor Code patterned after the one at West Point. "A cadet will act honorably at all times. A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate dishonesty by fellow cadets." The Cadet Honor Council consists of juniors and seniors selected by the senior class and the faculty, as approved by the Head of School. When a suspected honor code violation is reported, the Honor Council faculty advisers convene the Council for a hearing at which the cadets involved are required to explain their conduct. The Honor Council recommends punishment and/or other measures appropriate to educate the Cadet Corps about the expectations of honorable behavior. Final approval lies with the Head of School. Continued, repeated violations of the Honor Code may warrant dismissal from the Academy.

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or code:
“Well, honor is the subject of my story.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
