Honor Council

Honor Council is a student-led group designed to uphold our Code of Conduct: Honor, Respect, Integrity. 

The group is comprised of an elected, representative body of students whose purpose is to sit in judgment of their peers in matters involving honor code violations. The Council's job in these situations is to make sure the accused student has a fair, just, and proper hearing and then to determine guilt or innocence. In cases of guilt it is the job of the Council to issue a recommendation in accordance with the disciplinary policy of the school.

Student Council

Student Council is a group of elected members that advocate for student voices, provide assistance in school affairs and activities, and encourage relationships between students, faculty, and administration. Both middle and upper school have a student council.

In upper school, this club also leads Town Hall meetings; disburses funding for other clubs; and plans student events like Homecoming, Student Body Week, and the freshman retreat in partnership with SMU students.
