As teachers work to weave the schoolwide Learn Well, Live Well, Lead Well (LW3) Goals & Competencies into their curricula, we share a glimpse of what this looks like in our ninth-grade physics class this year.

Distance Learning Dispatches
Students were asked to disrupt the dominant culture's messages about body image by providing alternate narratives that promote a more positive, inclusive, empowering message.

Honor Code
One of the goals of the school is to encourage personal integrity. The School stresses the value of personal honor and ethical responsibility and believes that a strong school community is founded on concern for the individual and mutual trust.
LOWER SCHOOL HONOR CODE
The Lower School Honor Code, A Holton Girl CARES, was developed by Lower School students to reflect what they felt exemplified Holton girls at their very best. Each letter in CARES represents a different character trait: Character, Awareness, Responsibility, Empathy, and Spirit. The concept of caring goes to the very heart of what is expected of all our students: caring about doing their very best work, caring about each other, and caring about our school. We expect each student to behave in a manner that is consistent with Holton’s Honor Code. Each student should seek to exhibit personal integrity, responsibility to herself and others, and respect for cultural and individual differences.
UPPER & MIDDLE SCHOOL HONOR CODE
The Middle & Upper School Honor Code was established by juniors and seniors in 1950, and each student is expected to abide by it.
The four honor offenses are lying, stealing, cheating, and plagiarism.
It is also considered an honor offense to knowingly aid another student to commit one of these acts.
