Suspension or Expulsion

Infractions of very serious rules of conduct are penalized by giving students a suspension or expulsion. Suspension usually involves one (1) day away from the classroom, or hours of detention as determined by the administration. Expulsion means that for serious or repeated violations, a student will be subject to dismissal from Bishop Garrigan High School.

Violations which subject a student to suspension or expulsion are as follows:

a) Smoking or use of tobacco products on school premises or at a school activity.

b) Truancy--2nd offense.

c) Destruction of, or defacing school property.

d) Possession, drinking, or being under the influence of alcoholic beverages on school property or at school-sponsored events off grounds, at any time.

e) Possession of, use of, or being under the influence of illegal drugs on school property or at school sponsored events off the grounds at any time.

f) Any conduct at a school sponsored activity contrary to that of a lady or a gentleman.
