HHS Academic Integrity, Cheating, AI & Plagiarism Policy

The lack or absence of Academic Integrity minimizes the learning environment. Students have the responsibility of doing their own work without seeking an unfair advantage over others.

Cheating:

    •  Cheating is not allowed. It's defined as any dishonest action taken by a student to make it appear as though they know or can do something they haven't yet learned. Each teacher at HHS will outline their specific policy on cheating in their disclosure statement.

AI in Education: 

    • Our Approach
      • At HHS, we believe in fostering independent learning and helping students truly understand their subjects. That's why using AI to generate entire pieces of original student work is not permitted. We expect students to complete their assignments independently, showcasing their unique insights and comprehension.
      • We recognize that AI is a rapidly evolving technology and an integral part of the modern world. Our goal isn't to ban it, but to educate students on its appropriate and ethical use. We aim to help students view AI as a tool that supports learning, rather than something that merely does the work for them. Using AI to complete assignments undermines the learning process and prevents students from demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of their academic material.
Enriching Learning, Not Replacing It
          • When integrated strategically, AI can genuinely enrich formal education and support continuous learning. However, it's crucial to remember that AI will never replace critical thinking, direct academic instruction, or hands-on learning. These fundamental elements remain at the core of a comprehensive education. Students should be aware that generative AI often provides inaccurate information. Students are expected to check AI output for factual errors and incorrect information.  
Guidance for Students
          • To ensure responsible use, students must work with their teachers before using AI on an assignment. You must ask your teacher for permission if they have not already stated that it is allowed. If teachers have given permission to use AI, students must cite their use of AI on the assignment to reinforce ethical use If the teacher has not said anything about AI use for an assignment, assume that using AI is not permitted. Your teacher will provide specific guidance on the use of AI in their class. We also recommend reading through and familiarizing yourself with your teacher’s Disclosure Statements. This will be the guiding principle for AI in their class. By collaborating with your teachers, you can effectively and ethically navigate the potential of AI.
Plagiarism:
          • Plagiarism is not allowed. Plagiarism means presenting someone else's ideas, words, or creations as if they were your own. It doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or by mistake. This rule applies to anything you present, including things you say, show visually, or write.
