Written by seniors in the Class of 2001, the Community Creed was approved by the Student Council and adopted as a statement of the ideals and virtues that have governed student behavior and attitudes since the inception of the school.
Community Creed
As students of Memphis University School, we share a duty to preserve our tradition of general excellence by upholding the principles that define and unify our community.
Truth and Honor: An MUS student tells the truth, does his own work, honors his commitments, and respects the property of others and of the school.
Scholarship: An MUS student actively seeks knowledge and understanding, and he encourages that pursuit among his classmates.
Service: An MUS student contributes his time and abilities to the welfare of his school and of the greater community.
Respect: An MUS student is courteous and kind and appreciates everyone in his community.
Humility: An MUS student may be confident but never arrogant or boastful.
Involvement: An MUS student develops leadership, cooperation, communication, self-discipline, and friendships in activities outside the classroom.
Accountability: An MUS student takes responsibility for his actions and accepts their consequences.
