For the first time, Pingry, and specifically the Honor Board, hosted Honor Code Week, which fortuitously coincided with the School’s celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the Honor Code.

The event is thanks to 2025-26 Honor Board Chair Chloe Huang ’26, who pitched the idea during her interview to be Honor Board Chair. “We take the time to celebrate various identities, but we should also celebrate the Honor Code because we all identify with it,” she says. Chloe wanted the week to be fun and relatable and hopes it becomes an annual tradition.

Honor Code Week consisted of four main parts:

- Lower School students featured in a kick-off video

- Upper School students attended one of three faculty-led seminars on the Honor Code as it relates to the political landscape (History Department Chair Matt Honohan and Upper School English Teacher Dr. Barrett Ward), athletics (Coaches Rob Hoepfl and Marquis Ormond), and AI in the arts (Visual Arts Department Chair Andrew Sullivan and Visual Arts Teacher Nan Ring)

- five Upper School podcasts, hosted by members of the Honor Board, with students, teachers, and former Honor Board Chair Divya Subramanian ’24, released on Spotify

- faculty and staff appreciation posters

Additional Honor Code celebrations will continue throughout 2026.
