About Our Honor Pledge and Plagiarism
 

Plagiarism is presenting the ideas or words of another as if they were one's own. Regardless of how sources are used (direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary), it is essential to give credit for the ideas and words of others. All students receive instruction and practice in how to avoid plagiarism in their English classes. At Lutheran High School, under the demerit system, any student guilty of blatant plagiarism will be assigned two demerits on their first offense and other disciplinary measures taken.

Mission Statement

Empowered by God, Lutheran High School, Springfield, IL, builds a Christ-centered family to equip students spiritually, intellectually, and physically for service to God and society.

-We believe that God wants each person to use the talents and gifts he has been given for His glory and our good.

-We believe that teaching the spiritual dimension to life is primarily the responsibility of the parent, and they are assisted by the church.

-We believe that the spiritual dimension to life (who I am, why am I here, who is God and what does he want of me) is most effectively understood when applied in conjunction with other academic subjects and in social interrelationships.

-We believe that the teenage years are periods of struggles with temptations, identity, individuality, self worth, family interrelationships, maturity, responsibility, and sexuality, all of which have a spiritual dimension.

-We believe that Lutheran High School is an extension of the congregation, providing a specialized program, and desiring to better equip Christian youth to be effective Christian citizens.

-We believe that the primary responsibility of Lutheran High School is to provide a quality Christ centered education through which the Holy Spirit can effectively move within the heart of the teens entrusted to our care.
