The privilege of enrollment as a student in The King's Christian Junior/Senior High School carries with it some unique and demanding responsibilities. As a Christian school, we seek to place God and His Word at the center of all we do and to relate Jesus Christ to our studies, our activities, and our personal lives. By applying for admission and by enrolling in the school, each student agrees, with God's help, to the following standards of conduct:
- To respect and obey teachers.
- To willingly accept and abide by school rules.
- To refrain from the use or possession of any and all alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, drugs, and controlled substances (unless prescribed by a physician for medical purposes).
- To treat other students with respect and to apply the "golden rule" in relationships with them.
- To maintain a pure sexual life and to avoid inappropriate physical contact.
- To guard language and refrain from using obscene or profane words, lying, gossiping, or speaking unkindly to others.
- To dress in accordance with the School Dress Code, reflecting the values of modesty and neatness.
- To help take care of school property. This includes things, such as: not littering, not defacing walls or bulletin boards, not writing in textbooks or on desks, etc.
- To be conscientious in studies, including homework and other assignments.
Students are also required to maintain regular attendance at church. Even though these standards apply specifically to school time, we recognize that students should exercise Christian discernment in every area of their lives at all times. THE SCHOOL ENCOURAGES AND EXPECTS OUR STUDENTS TO GIVE EVIDENCE OF A CHRIST-CENTERED LIFE IN EVERY RESPECT. Particular emphasis should be given to keeping a positive Christian testimony in the selection of leisure time activities, entertainment, and recreation.
