Hillview Middle School

Academic Integrity.
August 30, 2007

Intro Clip:  Michael Pritchard…..”Acting on Your Values”

Ms. Devoto:  Well, we won’t be “shutting up” for those once a month, 20 minute segments when we talk about values….Here at Hillview, we think that things like integrity, honesty, respect, responsibility, empathy, tolerance, perseverance, and moral courage are pretty darn important.  We want you all to graduate being ready for ALL the challenges ahead…..not just the academic ones.  If they haven’t already done so, teachers will be talking to you today about integrity: which is another word for “honesty,” and what they expect from you in their classes. 

            Here’s a video on this important subject
