An Honor Code is a set of principles that stress mutual respect and academic integrity.  We will ratify these principles, agree to adhere to it, and enforce its provisions.  Our objective is to create an environment in which each member is able to realize their full potential -- a potential which is realized through intellectual and social growth.  Students take responsibility for the integrity of their research and scholarship, and work hard to build a genuinely free, open, and fair community.  As a member of Block 3 Senior English, students gain first-hand experience in collaboration and leadership, negotiation and compromise, freedom and responsibility.
