Student Success Statement

“I have been asked what i mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind

prison walls-walls of stone even so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the

ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but

stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word

of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

What this quote means is that it is important to keep a promise.
