ACTION Values and Building Moral Character
We believe that schools share an obligation with families to teach kids right from wrong, and that character development is an important part of schooling. To maintain a school culture that promotes learning and respect for others, HCLC has an honor code that applies to the entire school community. Adhering to the honor code means that scholars will act truthfully, with high moral character, both on and off school property.
We hold dear six core values that we teach and preach! These are not simply slogans on a wall — they are true values that everyone in our school community lives and breathes every day. Starting with adults and filtering to children, respect for others and proper behavior are taught, modeled, expected, and rewarded.
