Code of Conduct:

 

East Orange Campus High School has a history and tradition of athletic excellence-- a tradition that was not built overnight. It took years of tireless work, dedication, and commitment. As a Jaguar, you must continue to strive to uphold this high standard of excellence. Once you have become a member of a team, you have made a choice to uphold certain standards expected of athletes in this community. Your participation in athletics is a privilege and should be treated as such. Any time you wear the red, blue, white and grey, you are representing yourself, your family, your school, and all those that have worn these colors before you. Your behavior should be above reproach in all areas. Students, staff, parents, and the community will closely observe your conduct.

The most important responsibility is to develop strength of character and positive values and behaviors. You owe it to yourself to attain the greatest possible benefit from your high school experiences. Your academic studies, and your participation in activities, helps prepare you for life as an adult. As an athlete, you assume a leadership role. You are judged by your conduct an attitudes, both on and off the field. Because of your leadership role, you can make positive contributions to your community and school. Be sure the example you set is a positive one.

Campus Athletics provides opportunities for all participating students to learn the values of cooperation, sportsmanship, pride, respect and leadership in a safe and supportive environment. Campus High School student athletes will:

 

  1.  Develop leadership characteristics through athletic competition that foray into the classroom and the future.
