LCCS HONOR CODE

The purpose of the honor code is to provide a Biblical framework for personal conduct. In order to realize fully the unique plan that God has for me, I will seek to honor Him by making appropriate choices.

Twenty-four hours a day, twelve months a year, as long as I am a student at Lake Country Christian School I will commit to the following goals:

1.  I will respect and honor administrators, teachers, faculty staff, parents, and adults in general. Respect by definition is courteous expression by word or deed of esteem or regard for the feelings and rights of others.
2.  I will show respect, care, and concern for other students. Respect by definition is courteous expression by word or deed of esteem or regard for the feelings and rights of others. I will refrain from physical or verbal harassment of any kind (e.g. “initiation” of other students), putting down fellow students, sexual innuendo (sexual harassment), or gossip. Such behaviors are cruel, hurtful, and indicate a lack of character. I acknowledge that, though my intent may not be to cause harm with my words or actions, the perception of the recipient defines harassment.
3.  I will maintain a lifestyle of sexual purity. In order to remain sexually pure, I will refrain from participation in sex acts or looking at, listening to, or sharing sexually explicit material. I understand that sexual intimacy is biblically set aside for marriage. Marriage is biblically defined as a covenant relationship between a man and a woman.
4.  I will refrain from profanity, vulgar behavior, sexual perverse conversation or behaviors. I will refrain from any communication or actions which represent behaviors condemned by the Word of God.
5.  I will not use illegal drugs. I will not abuse prescription drugs. I will not use any mood altering substances, legal or illegal. I will not use alcohol or tobacco. I will not be associated with the illegal use of alcohol and tobacco.
6.  I will refrain from lying, cheating, or stealing. In addition to the commonly understood meanings of these words, I understand that stealing the ideas of others is plagiarism and using the work of others is cheating. I will refrain from any appearance of stealing, cheating, or lying.
7.  I will hold my fellow students accountable for the principles held in this Honor Code. I will insist others do what is honoring to God. At the same time, I will not judge my fellow students or consider myself better than others.

The honor code is signed by all students entering grades 5-12.

As a teacher/staff member at LCCS, I understand that I am to model behaviors that support the Honor Code. Like my students I acknowledge that it is through the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit in my life that I am free to make right choices.
