Noblesville High School Honor Code for 2016 - 2017 Honor code privileges are for those seniors, who have consistently followed school policies, have maintained excellent attendance, and who have demonstrated perseverance in achieving academic success. Self-discipline, responsibility, and good conduct are also characteristics that these seniors are expected to exhibit during their last year at NHS. Please read the following guidelines and rules of our Senior Honor Code. If you feel your senior student can assume Honor Code responsibilities, complete the attached sheet and have your senior student return it to Student Services by no later than May 13th, 2016.
Senior Honor Code Eligibility
1.
Seniors must have earned a minimum of 32 credits by the beginning of their senior year.
2.
Seniors must have signed approval from a parent or guardian on file in Student Services (see the attached Senior Honor Code Application).
3.
Seniors must have a GPA of 1.667 or greater to be eligible for Honor Code by the beginning of their Senior year

Senior Honor Code Policies
1.
Students must show their ID each time they take advantage of Honor Code privileges. Staff members, including door monitors, school administrators, and police liaison officers will check student ID’s. Failure to show an ID may result in a Friday Detention and/or loss of Honor Code privileges.
2.
Eligibility for Honor Code is evaluated every semester. Therefore, if a student loses their Honor Code privileges for any reason, those privileges are lost for the remainder of the semester and the student will be placed in a senior AL. NOTE: If a student is academically ineligible for Honor Code after the second quarter grade check, Honor Code will be lost for the entire second semester.
Senior Honor Code Privileges
1.
Seniors with Honor Code are allowed to leave campus during AL (after D lunch).
2.
Senior Honor Code students may sign themselves out of school through the Attendance Office for dental, medical and academic appointments. Students must also sign in at the Attendance Office upon returning to the building, and they are required to provide the Attendance Office with the appropriate documentation from the appointment. Lack of documentation will result in the absence being recorded as unexcused. If the student fails to sign out, the absence from school will be recorded as truancy. NOTE: Students are not to go home sick at any time without first seeing the nurse and Senior Honor Code Students do NOT have the privilege of calling themselves in for illness. A parent phone call is still required.
