Student Responsibilities

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

All students of Grant High School are responsible for conducting themselves in a
manner that is appropriate to good citizenship.  Student conduct shall be founded on
the basic concept of respect, consideration for the rights of others, school policies,
and applicable codes and laws.

The philosophy of our faculty and staff is that all students are provided with a safe
learning environment which helps develop a positive concept of themselves,
enhances individual potential, and increase respect towards others.

This conduct code is the standard for all Grant High School Students.  The code was developed to define the expectation for appropriate behavior and goals at the school.
  • Students are expected to show respect and behave appropriately with teachers, school staff, administrators and campus guests at all times.
  • Students must use respectful, proper language when speaking to each other and to staff members.  Profanity is prohibited at all times.
  • Students must carry their student identification (I.D.) cards at all times.  If an I.D. is requested, the student must show it to the adult staff.
  • Students must maintain a 2.0 G.P.A. for participation in extracurricular or school activities.
  • Students must have a valid hall pass or office summons when out of class during instructional time.
  • Students may not bring any of the following items to school:
    • Weapons
    • Alcohol, tobacco, cigarettes, matches, lighters, drugs, or drug paraphernalia
    • Paint, markers, or “white-out”
    • Pets
    • Anything that would be considered a safety hazard by school official

Students are fully expected to adhere to all LAUSD Student Expectations, as follows:
  • Learn and follow school and classroom rules.
  • Attend school/classes on time, every day, and be prepared to learn.
  • Resolve conflicts without physical or verbal violence.
  • Keep a safe and clean campus that is free of graffiti, weapons, and drugs.
  • Create a positive school environment, reporting any bullying or harassment.
  • Display good sportsmanship both on and off the athletic field or anywhere on campus.
  • Keep social activities safe and fair.

In addition, our students will:
  • Conduct themselves in an appropriate and respectful manner, fulfill their responsibilities as successful students and citizens, and respect all school-adopted policies.
  • Demonstrate appropriate and positive behavior conducive to academic success and individual achievement.
  • Recognize and exercise their rights while fulfilling all of their responsibilities.
  • Respect and understand the rights of others, the laws of our society, and all school policies.
  • Commit to participate and capitalize on the educational opportunities provided at school.

The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to nurture students and prepare them to make meaningful and positive contributions to their school, community, and society, during and after their high school experience.  In an effort to help students understand and accept the consequences of their actions, students in nonconformity with the Code of Conduct will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined by the Progressive Discipline Policy.
