  • The Altamont School
    The Altamont School Photo - The Honor Code is essential to the fulfillment of Altamont's mission. Its tenets are simple: to not lie, cheat, or steal; they allow students to establish sound moral and ethical standards that will serve them for the rest of their lives. Perhaps English Teacher Jim Palmer '70 best sums up Altamont's dedication to Honor: "Where else do you find a high school with a student-operated Honor Code? Where else do students rise when an adult enters the classroom, and thank the teacher at the end of class? Walt Whitman once said, 'Make good people. The rest follows.' We make good people at Altamont."
