Model Secondary School Honor Policy

​During the spring/summer of 2008, SEE completed a search of US public and private high school websites that included references to academic integrity/honesty/cheating and/or honor codes or pledges. We specifically searched for schools that represented a broad geographic diversity. There were 93 school websites discovered, which were ultimately sorted down to 33 school websites that included definitions of cheating and published integrity policies and/or codes supporting integrity.

Of these 33 schools, 19 were public schools and 14 were private schools from a total of 16 states. We created an outline of a comprehensive academic integrity policy from a review of these 33 schools.

We obtained permission from 14 school administrators (bold text in table below) from nine states to include policy narrative or themes and cite their websites to create SEE’s synthesis of an academic integrity policy. ​No single school website contained all of the elements of this policy and several schools may have contributed concepts to individual themes that were synthesized and paraphrased in this document. The file below (linked to cover page) provides the description of a model honor policy for secondary schools and is a 17 page document that includes:
 Goal Statement (pg 1)
Statement of Core Values (pg 1)
Definitions of Terms    (pg 2-3)
Responsibilities of the Academic Integrity Committee (pg 3)
Responsibilities of Members of School Community (pg 4-5)
Honor Code (pg 5)
Honor Pledge (pg 6)
Honor Council (pg 6-9)
Suggested Consequences (pg 10)
Appeals & Review (pg 11)
Defining Plagiarism
​(pg) 12
Suggestions to Teach Strategies for Quoting, Paraphrasing & Citing
​(pg 13-16)
