​​Disciplinary Infractions

The following is a partial listing of possible disciplinary infractions. With the diversity of the student body and backgrounds it is impossible to list all such infractions and penalties. The Principal reserves the right to make final determination of infractions and appropriate penalties in matters not explicitly stated as well as the seriousness of the penalty depending on circumstances in matters stated. A teacher may give a detention with one day's notice for any infraction listed here or any other class rules infraction.

Excessive Display of Affection

As a Catholic, Christian school, CSHM insists upon appropriate moral behavior by its students at all times. Excessive and inappropriate displays of affection are never acceptable on campus or at school events and go to the root of our school's reputation and values. This would include kissing, inappropriate hugging, or other displays of affection inappropriate to the school environment as determined by the administration, faculty, and/or staff member witnessing the behavior. Because we consider this to be a violation of not only school rules, but also a violation of the foundational values of our school, serious consequences up to and including dismissal from school may apply.​

In addition to receiving detention hours, the student who receives a Disciplinary referral will have the referral sent home to his/her parents.

1. 2nd Referral may result in a Parent-Dean Conference.
2. 3rd Referral within a 20 week period will result in student being placed on disciplinary probation.
3. Infractions while a student is on probation will result in a Parent-Dean conference and the student is liable to be brought before the Disciplinary Review Board and may be asked to withdraw from the school.
