HONOR SYSTEM

A MEMBER OF THE EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY WILL UPHOLD OUR HONOR SYSTEM AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EVERY MEMBER HAS THE RIGHT TO LEARN AND GROW IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS WELCOMING AND ACCEPTING. WE WILL STRIVE TO LIVE WITH HONOR AND OUR CHOICES WILL EMBODY KINDNESS, AWARENESS, INCLUSION, AND RESPECT FOR ALL.

The Honor Code states:

• A member of the Episcopal community will not lie.

• A member of the Episcopal community will not steal.

• A member of the Episcopal community will not cheat.

into all aspects of the educational experience. Importantly, Episcopal schools are diverse ministries of educational and spiritual formation which welcome people of all religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds.

A distinguishing characteristic of Episcopal schools is the integration of religious and spiritual formation into every aspect of school life. We invite all to seek clarity about their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives. As an Episcopal school, we exist not merely to educate, but to demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth of all human beings as creations of a loving God.

The four quadrants of the school seal each have a picture that is unique to the school’s founding.

THE GOLD EAGLE in the upper left quadrant represents the eagle of Saint John and is the school mascot.

THE “C” within the keystone in the upper right quadrant represents Mary Packer Cummings, whose estate is part of Episcopal’s original campus.

THE LAMP of learning light is in the lower left quadrant. (Lamps of knowledge are also on pedestals in Parks and Lastinger Halls and were used during the buildings’ dedications.)

The lower right quadrant contains a picture of a PALM TREE, for Florida, and a river – the St. Johns River.
