A Community of Trust with Honor Above All
In all grades at St M, we strive to treat others as we would like to be treated. Honor, integrity, and accountability are an integral part of our core values and our honor pledge is signed each year by every Middle School student.
At Tuesday's Honor Chapel, we were delighted to welcome St. Michael's alumnus, Ben Mills '19, as our speaker. Thank you, Ben, for sharing your insightful words on personal experiences that solidified your commitment to honesty and integrity.
