The Honor Council must determine if a student has committed an offense by lying, cheating or stealing. If they determine an offense has occurred, they must then assign a consequence. Finally, they must make their recommendation to the Headmaster for implementation. The Honor Council has the power to recommend suspension or expulsion. The adoption of the Honor Code has created a whole new conversation on campus.
Students view their actions in a new way.
No longer must they accept rules simply because they are rules, students cooperate with rules because it is a way for them to show their personal integrity. As a result, we have set records in retention of students and reductions of expulsions. No student may attend Brush Ranch School without making two commitments. First, they must commit to do their very best in every part of the program. Secondly, they must agree to abide by the Honor Code.
