Codes

TREWHITT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL'S discipline code is designed to allow effective learning to take place. It is the legal responsibility of school personnel to maintain an environment in which all students have the opportunity to learn free of disruptions. The code will help our students on their way to learning, who they are, and what they want to do, and the academic skills, which will enable them to pursue future goals. Respect for the regulations and policies of TREWHITT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL will do much to insure a quality education.
