Code of Conduct

All individuals are expected to conduct themselves with personal dignity and pride.

When questioning my actions, these are our three essential guiding questions:

  1. Is this action good for me?
  2. Is this action good for others?
  3. Is this action good for the environment?

Ways that students can demonstrate their understanding are:

  • Treat ALL persons with respect. Respect all students’ rights to learn and be safe. Respect all Uni Staff and comply with classroom policies and rules.
  • Obey all local, state, Federal laws.  
  • Attend all classes daily and be on time.  
  • Absolutely no forging or plagiarizing at University High School.  
  • Adhere to district cell phone policy. Phones can only be used before school, after school, during nutrition and lunch. Cell phones may be used in classrooms ONLY with the teacher’s permission.
The following are NOT allowed:  
  • Gang activity, attire or signs.  
  • Possession of drugs, alcohol, or any other illegal substance.  
  • Causing disruption or use of profanity in class or on school campus.

  • Possession of weapons or dangerous objects.  
  • Administrative approval must be obtained to wear headgear in classrooms.  
  • No public displays of affection are allowed on campus.
