Two Academy Traditions: Mountain Day and Signing the Honor Code

Two Academy Traditions: Mountain Day and Signing the Honor CodeOn Tuesday, October 9, we put aside our schoolwork to hike up Mount Greylock together. Undaunted by early morning clouds and full of anticipation for a warm (if foggy) mid-day break at the summit, we bussed over to the base. There, our seniors led us in stretching exercises and we were fueled by fresh doughnuts before we began our ascent.

Two Academy Traditions: Mountain Day and Signing the Honor CodeAt the summit, we held our annual Honor Code signing. The Honor Council has been using Morning Meetings of late to remind us of the principles that bind us together as a community, and before our departure this morning we heard some alumni/ae reflections on how living with an Honor Code has shaped their lives and personal practices.
