Code of Conduct

Byron Center High School's greatest asset is our amazing students.  If it weren't for the leadership of our students, our school would not what it is today.  In order to maintain a safe and orderly environment, it is important to abide by the expectations set before us.  Keep in mind, each expectation has a specific purpose, so if a student or parent struggles to understand the rationale behind an expectation, we encourage you to contact the main office to discuss the situation.  

It is also important for students to keep administration informed of what is happening, and so if there is something happening that is inappropriate, we encourage you to use our silent observer tipline where you can remain 100% anonymous.  Even administration will not know who the "tipster" is.  You can text "CRIMES" on your cell phone, or call (616) 774-2345.

All students are required to read the PDF DocumentBCHS Code of Conduct .  Please be aware of the expectations.
