Rigorous College Prep Academics

Uniform Code

Our personal attire tells the world a lot about who we are individually and as a collective. The dress code reflects our values of respect for ourselves and others, pride in our institution and conveys professionalism to our community. For that reason, and in keeping with Catholic School tradition, each scholar will wear the Holy Family Cristo Rey school uniform each day both at school and in Corporate Work Study.

This dress code is not meant to be oppressive or limit self-expression, but moreover to create order and consistency. What is written here constitutes what is acceptable for the school uniform. Thank you!

Honor Code

Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School believes that a constructive Christian community cannot function without honor and trust. The Honor Code is an expression of this belief and seeks to instill and remind each member of the Holy Family community of the principles of decency and self-discipline. These, along with honesty, integrity, and respect, are the Gospel values that should permeate the entire learning process in accordance with the ideals shown to us by Christ.

“On my honor, as a Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School Student, I pledge that this work assessment/ assignment /project/quiz is solely my own.”

Any and all reports of the Honor Code violations are strictly confidential. All parties involved will be summoned discreetly and/or questioned privately by the Principal, Dean of Students, and/or Counselor.  Violators of the Honor Code, as determined by the Principal, are subject to the disciplinary actions outlined in the handbook.

Maintaining the Honor Code

All students enrolled at Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School are automatically subject to the Honor Code. It will be the responsibility of each student to:

• Uphold the honor and integrity of the student body of Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School.
• Promote a Christian atmosphere where fellow students can develop character, scholarship, citizenship, and an understanding of the value of hard work.
• Report any violations of the Honor Code to any faculty member and/or the Principal.
• Write and sign the Honor Code pledge statement for any assignment, project, quiz, etc., as required by their instructors.

Breaking the Honor Code

It is understood that the students and faculty have a Christian moral obligation to themselves and to the members of the Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School community to report any violations of the Honor Code of which they are aware. The following are examples of Honor Code violations:

• Leaving books or notebooks open during a test
• Writing answers on desktops, hands, legs, arms, or any part of the body
• Copying another student's homework, or giving one's homework to another student for the purpose of copying
• Looking at another student's test or quiz
• Copying answers from another student when tests are being handed in
• Giving and/or receiving answers during examinations, tests, or quizzes using unauthorized technology, include cell phones and programmable calculators
• Turning in a paper/project that has been composed or created by another student
• Submitting a paper or assignment in class that has been translated by another person or any electronic device (internet websites, pocket translators, etc.)

Taking a copy of a quiz, test, or exam without the teacher's knowledge or express permission is a serious offense. It will automatically be considered a more serious infraction.
