APPENDIX C Code of Ethics for Secondary School Activities The Code of Ethics for secondary school activities has been developed for the purpose of stating the behavioral expectations of all who are involved with (secondary) school activities programs. Adherence to the Code is expected at all MPA sponsored or sanctioned activities. Reported consistent and/or flagrant violations of the Code may result in punitive action by the MPA Interscholastic Executive Committee if charges are substantiated at a hearing convened for that purpose. In order to promote desirable behavior and enhance the over-all quality of secondary school activities programs for which MPA has assumed responsibility, the following Code of Ethics is in effect: It is the duty of all concerned with secondary school activities programs to… Cultivate awareness that participation in high school activities is part of the total education experience and, as such; no one would either seek or expect academic privileges for the participants. Emphasize the proper ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct and fair play as they relate to the lifetime impact on the participants and spectators. Develop an awareness and understanding of all rules and guidelines governing competition, both in letter and intent, and to comply with them in all activities. Recognize that the purpose of activities in school programs is to develop and promote the physical, mental, moral, social and emotional well being of individual participants. Avoid any practice or technique that would endanger the present or future welfare or safety of a participant. Avoid practice that force or encourage student-athletes to specialize or which restrict them from participation in a variety of activities. Refrain from making disparaging remarks to opponents, officials, coaches, or spectators in any aspect of school activities. Vigorously encourage the development of proper health habits and discourage the use of chemicals, including alcohol and tobacco. Exemplify proper self-control at all times and accept adverse decisions without public display of emotion or dissatisfaction. Encourage everyone to judge the true success of the activities programs on the basis of the attitude of the participants and spectators, rather than on the basis of a win or loss.
