This week, Upper School classes began signing the US Honor Pledge, an aspirational statement that reflects the division’s commitment to Potomac’s core values. Every year, students publicly commit to uphold the pledge by signing their name in the Pledge Book in front of their peers. We are pleased to share the Upper School Honor Pledge with you:
I believe in the power of my intellect and the value of my hard work. I recognize that demonstrating integrity in all my interactions with the school community is more important than any outcome. I acknowledge the efforts of my teachers and classmates, and understand that my actions can have positive and negative impacts. Therefore, I pledge to engage honestly with my work, not giving or receiving inappropriate assistance, and I pledge to maintain my integrity with respect to others.
