The School Committee believes that each member of the school community should take responsibility for his/her own behavior. To that end, the School Committee recognizes the need to model and teach ethical and responsible behavior, to define unacceptable student conduct and its consequences, and ensure that discipline is administered appropriately. Having considered the input of staff, parents, students, and the community, the School Committee adopts this Code of Conduct (“Code”). Community Core Values With rights come responsibilities. Members of the school community are expected to demonstrate ethical and responsible behavior consistent with its core values. Such conduct is fundamental to a supportive, safe, and orderly school environment and a civil society. The Gorham School Committee has established five core values.

Community Service: Community service is not required to earn a diploma, but each student must have accumulated twenty (20) community service hours in order to participate in graduation ceremonies. This is a Gorham School Department policy. Community Service forms should be turned in to the student’s advisor. This requirement must be completed by the end of May of the senior year. STUDENT SERVICES ADVISORY The advisory program at Gorham High School is designed to connect every student to an adult in the school. Students remain connected with their advisor during their entire time at Gorham High School, and this four-year partnership provides the time 5 necessary to develop a trusting relationship. Ideally, as student-advisor relationships develop, all students will know and be able to speak comfortably with at least one adult in the high school. This ongoing working relationship enables advisors to know each advisee’s aspirations and the obstacles standing in the way of these aspirations. While learning of their advisees’ hopes, advisors will help students find solutions to obstacles that are best suited for each student. Parents should also get to know their student’s advisor. Advisors will remain a constant through a student’s years at Gorham High School and can serve as a contact for parents. Programmatically, advisories are organized by grade level and are designed in such a way as to encourage thoughtful discourse while being responsive to emerging issues that impact our school, local, and global communities. In Advisory, students focus
