In September 1994, St. Hilary of Poitiers School instituted a PEACE PROGRAM.  This PEACE PROGRAM became the philosophy of our school. It is based on the principles taught by Jesus Christ.  It infiltrated every curriculum area and is our Discipline Code. This non-violent approach touches every person in our school community.  It touches our principal, teachers, staff members, parents, and students.  All are required to follow these principles of peace.

Armed with the knowledge that conflicts are inevitable, teachers and students have been in-serviced and are expected to follow, conflict resolution skills.  Good and healthy self-esteem is promoted through these skills.  Children are taught to stand up for themselves and not allow others to tease or bully them.

Respect, both in word and action, toward self, others, and the environment is the primary principle of our PEACE PROGRAM.

Disrespect, both in word or action, toward self, others, or environment will simply not be tolerated.

A respectful quiet is expected to be observed in the hallways at all times.

This respectful quiet is also to be observed in response to bells throughout the day.

This quiet enhances a sense of serenity throughout the environment, thus promoting a sense of well being that will extend to each other.
