The Donoho School puts complete trust in the honesty of each student. The Honor Code gives the students two major responsibilities. The first responsibility is to accept and abide by the rules stated in the Honor Code. The second and equally important responsibility is to report any violations of the Honor Code.

To enforce the rules and to recommend punishment for any infraction of the Honor Code, an Honor Council is elected. The Honor Council is made up of two elected representatives from each class plus the president.

As a reminder of the Honor Code, a pledge is used. This pledge should be written in full on every/assignment and the signed by the student. The pledge states: "I have neither given nor received help on the test/assignment."
