Honor Council Leads Upper School Students in Signing Pledge

Students and faculty of the Upper School at Westchester Country Day School signed the school’s honor pledge, led by student members of the Honor Council.

The Honor Ceremony is held each year to emphasize the importance of academic integrity in the school community. Students in grades 9-12 pledge to conduct themselves with honor throughout all assignments and school activities by signing the Honor Code.

The centerpiece of the Honor System at Westchester is the student Honor Council, elected by peers in the Upper School. The Honor Council led students in signing the pledge during the assembly.

Westchester’s Honor Pledge reads as follows:

As a member of the Westchester community, I resolve to uphold the Honor Code of my school and to endeavor to promote honor and integrity. Therefore, I pledge not to cheat, lie, steal, plagiarize, or behave in any manner that exhibits dishonesty.
