A. The St. Louis U. High Profile of the Graduate at Graduation
The profile of the St. Louis University High School "Grad at Grad" outlines a
series of characteristics that a graduate of the school should embody at
graduation. These attributes are organized into five categories. In fact, all 48
schools within the Jesuit Secondary Education Association (JSEA) share these
common characteristics of the "Grad at Grad," which include:
• Open to Growth
• Intellectually Competent
• Religious
• Loving
• Committed to Doing Justice

B. Purpose of Discipline
Discipline is used in the high school to preserve order and to protect the
common good. Discipline is also necessary and essential in order to instill
values and ideals, as well as desirable and responsible habits of behavior in the
student, so that he is growing into a mature and responsible individual. The
development of these guidelines is based on these ideals. Your enrollment at
St. Louis University High School is an expressed agreement on your part and
the part of your parents or guardians to observe the student guidelines and to
commit to the goals and ideals of Jesuit Education and to the philosophy of St.
Louis University High School as stated in the document “Profile of the St.
Louis U. High Graduate at Graduation.”
The school reserves the right to review a student’s individual performance in
accordance with these expectations to determine if he and the school can
continue to benefit by continuing as a student at SLUH. Attending SLUH is a
privilege. Continuation as a student is considered automatic, PROVIDED the
student maintains acceptable academic standards; attempts to live the
philosophy and goals; and follows the policies and regulations of St. Louis
University High School. In all disciplinary cases, both the welfare of the
student and the welfare of the school are of concern.
C. Demerit Cards
Each student will receive a demerit card.
All students must have their card in their possession any time they are at school
or at a school function. A demerit will be given if a student does not have his
card. Student demerit cards are collected at the end of each quarter, and the
report card is not sent home until a student’s card is accounted for.
