"The standard is clear. If something we think, see, hear, or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing, hearing, or doing that thing. If that which is intended to entertain, for example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of entertainment is not for us. Because the Spirit cannot abide that which is vulgar, crude, or immodest, then clearly such things are not for us." (Elder David A. Bednar, "That We May Always Have His Spirit to Be with Us," Ensign, May 2006)

Student Honor
Student Honor is following the path of discipleship and learning to be more like Christ--learning to think, to feel, and to act more as He does.
Living a life of honor:
-
Begins as we learn and live the baseline standards of the Honor Code, understand their purposes, and are true to the promises we have made.
-
Continues as we heed the promptings of the Spirit to raise our personal bar of righteousness and foster a spirit of integrity, sacrifice, consecration, love, service and willing obedience as students and throughout our lives.
-
Prepares our hearts for devoted discipleship in the family, church, work, and community.
