Honor Code

The Honor System - An Agent of The Corps

Hargrave's honor system guides the Corps of Cadets in their dealings with each other and the Academy's faculty and staff. Hargrave's honor system is a very important part of the Academy's Corps of Cadets.

 

The Honor System

I. THE HONOR CODE

A. As a Cadet at Hargrave Military Academy, you are required to sign the Honor Code statement, " I, (your name), as a Hargrave Cadet, realize that honesty in all things is the foundation of a strong moral character. I, therefore, will not cheat, lie, nor steal; and I will immediately report any violation that comes to my attention. I pledge to uphold this HONOR CODE of Hargrave Military Academy. If I fail to keep this pledge, I realize that I must in good faith abide by the decision of the Honor Council."

B. In the Honor Council's interpretation of this code, a Cadet who fails to report a violation to which he was a witness has himself violated the code. Also, lying before the Honor Council is in itself a violation of the code.

C. The purpose of this Honor Code is to give each Cadet a corps based on mutual trust and to make each Cadet conscious of his responsibilities not only for his own acts, but for the acts of his fellow Cadets.
