Father McGivney Catholic High School believes in creating a community of learning in which honesty, responsibility, and honor are the norms and in which academic integrity is the expectation. Honesty is a value that holds each person to tell the truth and to defend the truth. Honesty supports intellectual growth and creates a fair learning environment. Teachers and Administrators understand the pressure to get good grades can sometimes create the incentive to cheat. Cheating removes the value of learning for the individual. Grades earned should reflect what the student has truly learned in the course. All learners must take personal responsibility for their education.
