AI & You: A Student's Guide
Using AI with Integrity at Cathedral High School
Why We Have an AI Policy
AI is a powerful tool, and like any tool, it can be used to build or to break. Our goal is to help you become a skilled and ethical user, ready for college and the world. This policy is built on our core values to make sure we all use AI in a way that helps us grow.
Your Effort Matters
The process of learning—the hard work and the "aha!" moments—is what helps you grow. We value your unique ideas and effort.
Be Honest & Trustworthy
Academic integrity means being honest about your work. It's the foundation of a fair and respectful learning community.
Use AI for Good
We want you to use AI responsibly. That means being fair, transparent, and thinking about the impact of your actions.
Protect Your Privacy
Be smart about your data. We encourage you to be mindful of the information you share with any online tool.
The Stoplight Framework: Know the Rules
To make things simple, your teachers will use a stoplight color for assignments. This tells you exactly how you can (or can't) use AI. If your teacher doesn't say, the rule is always 🔴 Red Light. When in doubt, always ask!
