Student Creed

I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or physical health.

I will develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I will use what I learn in class constructively and defensively to help myself and others, and never to be abusive or offensive.
