Statement of Integrity<br />
Integrity is the foundation of leadership. You only lead<br />
people if they trust you. If you lose people's trust, you've<br />
lost it all. That's why the right to lead is earned, and it's<br />
earned by being trustworthy. I think the most damaging<br />
sin a leader can commit is to betray the trust of his people.<br />
BMHS Honor Oath<br />
“I have chosen to act honorably,<br />
not because someone is watching,<br />
but because I value my character<br />
and our community of trust.”<br />
<strong>Peer</strong> <strong>Ministry</strong> Covenant<br />
I _______________ am prepared to fully accept the responsibilities of<br />
being a <strong>Peer</strong> Minister. I understand the role of <strong>Peer</strong> <strong>Ministry</strong> as one that<br />
shares in the mission of Campus <strong>Ministry</strong> at <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>McNamara</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong>, a Catholic school in the Holy Cross tradition. As such, my<br />
mission as a <strong>Peer</strong> Minister is one that is focused on bringing the light of<br />
Christ to the school community. I am willing to commit myself to that<br />
task, to the best of my ability, throughout the year.<br />
I understand what this commitment means for me on a personal level,<br />
and I understand the sacrifices involved and the responsibilities that come<br />
with this role in the school. I am willing to embrace the role of <strong>Peer</strong><br />
Minister, setting an example of strong Christian leadership to the school<br />
community.<br />
I am also aware of the specific requirements for the <strong>Peer</strong> <strong>Ministry</strong><br />
course. <strong>The</strong> requirements are:<br />
To uphold myself as a Christian example to my peers and to the underclassmen by<br />
my words and actions, both inside and outside of school.<br />
To attend all required dates and events.<br />
To attend class and any mandatory extra events or meetings of class in<br />
preparation for events (including retreats, Freshman class visits, etc.).<br />
To remain in dialogue with senior teachers and make up all missed assignments<br />
due to <strong>Peer</strong> <strong>Ministry</strong> activities (such as freshman visits).<br />
To be attentive to the demands of being a minister to ninth graders. I will meet bi<br />
-weekly with each student I am responsible for and be supportive of him/her<br />
throughout the year.<br />
