Student Expectations/Personal Accountability
At Hudson Catholic, there are guidelines whose purpose is to help our students grow in maturity, responsibility and a Christian manner. Observance of these guidelines should be motivated by our students’ own commitment to their own growth and the growth of the community at Hudson Catholic. Sanctions for infractions of the rules found in the Student Handbook are measured by the seriousness of the offense, its frequency and its effect of the Hudson Catholic community.
Student Expectations/Personal Accountability
Christian behavior is expected of students enrolled at Hudson Catholic at all times and places. Parents/guardians are encouraged to cooperate with the school in teaching those human, Christian and moral values which lie at the foundation of the school’s disciplinary code.
