Integrity Code

MPCS recognizes that developing and instilling integrity in its students is at the core of its mission. The MPCS Integrity Code states the following:

• MPCS students will refrain from lying, stealing, and cheating and will encourage others to do the same.

• Lying is making a false statement or intentionally omitting information that would create a false impression.

• Stealing is taking the property of another without consent.

• Academic dishonesty is unauthorized assistance sought, received, or offered on any schoolwork that could result in an unfair advantage. It is the representation of another’s work as one’s own.

The function the Integrity Code is to:

• Reveal God (Joshua 1:5);

• Develop and maintain a climate that allows the school to function in a decent and orderly manner (I Corinthians 14:40);

• Teach students submission to authority (Hebrews 13:17);

• Instill the values of Christian character (2 Peter 1:5-8);

• Promote and instill self-discipline (Psalm 119:165-168).

A student found guilty of a violation of the Integrity Code shall be subject to possible suspension from the school. Consequences will be determined by school administrators and may vary with the degree of severity of the violation.
