CARMEL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

Behavior in Instructional Areas
Instructional areas of Carmel Catholic High School include the classrooms and
corridors as well as the library. These areas merit special consideration because
students and teachers are actively involved in classes. Any behavior in the
corridors that disturbs the atmosphere of learning will result in a detention. See
Building Access section regarding corridor access during lunch periods.
Students may go to their lockers only between class periods. All corridors are to
be cleared within the five-minute passing time between classes. If it is necessary
to be in the academic area during class time, students should obtain a pass from a
teacher and maintain silence in the corridors.
Except in the lounge and cafeteria, consuming food and/or beverages and chewing
gum is forbidden at all times in the school.
Behavior Outside of Carmel Catholic
A member of the Carmel Catholic High School community is a member of that
community both on and off campus. The guidelines for student life are founded
upon respect for oneself and other people. It is, therefore, the expectation that
students will conduct themselves according to these guidelines away from school
as well as while attending classes or school-sponsored events. See also
Technology Use Outside of School.
If a student is in public violation of law outside of school or violates the moral
principles upheld by Carmel Catholic High School, the administration reserves the
right to take disciplinary action.
Care/Security of the Building and Campus
A great deal of care and expense has been invested in the campus and building of
Carmel Catholic High School. It is expected that the entire campus be treated with
respect and consideration. Each member of the Carmel Catholic community has
responsibility for taking care of and having pride in the building and grounds.
Students may not write on walls, desks, or lockers; they may not deface bulletin
boards; and they must dispose of garbage properly. Items hung in corridors should
be placed only on the brick surface and must be removed, along with the masking
tape used to hold them up, once an event is over. All signs and posters must be
hung with masking tape. Masking tape should not be used on windows or painted
surfaces. Stickers may not be used on or inside of student lockers.
For the safety of all, after 8:45 a.m., entry to the building should only be through
Entrance I at the south end of the building. All visitors are required to sign in and
out and to display a visitor’s ID while in the building. No outside doors are to be
propped open at any time.
Parents of students shall be responsible for the vandalism of their children.
Vandalism comprises those acts that result in significant damage to the school,
including burglary, theft, malicious mischief, school pranks, property damage,
breaking and entering, and arson.
