Academic Honesty

Morgan County High School strives to create a learning environment in which students can pursue a quality education. Our faculty and staff take on the responsibility of providing appropriate instructional experiences, materials, encouragement and the guidance necessary for our students to be successful. Students bear responsibility in this process as well. Students’ responsibilities include coming to school prepared to learn, putting forth an honest effort in every class, and exercising academic honesty.

Academic honesty means that a student’s behavior is ethical and their work is their own. Acts of academic dishonesty are serious violations of the trust necessary for a productive educational experience. Specifics related to violation of academic honesty and consequences are in the MCHS Student Handbook or stated here.

NOTE EDIT FOR AI: As we seek to prepare lifelong learners for an ever-changing world, we respect the integral role that technology plays in the lives of  21st century citizens. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are constantly evolving and are easily accessible to students. We expect our students to be discerning and ethical consumers of the vast array of technology afforded them and to exercise attitudes and habits commensurate with responsible digital citizenship. Evidence of using AI without teacher permission and/or direction will be considered a violation of the academic honesty policy.
