As a student of TempleChristianSchools, I acknowledge my personal, and Spirit given, power for good, and I accept the responsibility to make that power felt wherever I am. I realize that what I say and what I do are important not only to me but also to others. I must courageously and consistently do my part to establish and to maintain a climate at TempleChristianSchools in which learning is possible and Christian living is vital. My strength strengthens the entire student body; my weakness weakens the whole. Therefore, I accept my responsibility to respect others as I respect myself, to uphold the ideals and principles of Temple Christian Schools as expressed in the Eagle Honor Code on the back of this sheet and the School Handbook, and to cooperate in whatever is for the greater good of all.
