 Darnell-Cookman Honor Code:

Students of Darnell-Cookman will be expected to uphold the four benchmarks of our school and place value on intellectual rigor and academic standards. 

  • Honesty - When students practice honesty, the result is fairness for everyone.

  • Respect - Respect is treating others as we would like to be treated.  In an environment of respect, work we call our own, is our own.

  • Responsibility - Responsibility is the quality of being accountable for our actions and accepting the consequences of our actions.

  • Integrity - Integrity is a commitment to a value even when others are not present to witness it.

Enrollment at Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School requires a commitment to these principles.  Students are expected to acknowledge fully and in detail the work, thought, or ideas of another person if incorporated in work submitted for assessment; to submit separate pieces of work in fulfillment of the requirements of different components (i.e. research papers); to ensure that the work is their own and  is never given to another student in any version (hardcopy or electronic) knowing that it might be submitted for grading as the work of another student. 

 

Mission of Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School, School of the Medical Arts:

To prepare students for collegiate success through a rigorous college preparatory curriculum integrated with professional medical standards emphasizing integrity, the pursuit of academic excellence, and a passion for life-long learning.

Our highly trained faculty provides a variety of both group and individual learning opportunities that help prepare students to succeed in college preparatory courses. The rigorous, standards-based curriculum is designed for academically gifted and advanced students. Emphasis is placed on team building, problem solving, critical thinking and creativity. It is our diverse student population in an educationally rich environment that has created the Darnell-Cookman tradition of excellence.
