Weapons & Violence Policy
The possession of weapons on campus or at any MHGS sponsored event is strictly prohibited unless special permission is requested in writing and is granted by the school administration.  Permission will only be granted if the student requesting the exception holds a current concealed weapon permit and is able to demonstrate a compelling reason to have the weapon on her or his person while attending MHGS or a school sponsored event.  If permission is granted, the police will be notified that the student will be on campus in possession of said weapon. The weapon must remain concealed at all times.  There will be no exceptions to this policy.  Failure to comply with this policy may result in immediate expulsion from MHGS.

If the weapon is displayed, whether or not it is in an intentionally menacing or threatening manner, the police will be notified.  The administration and area police will evaluate the circumstance to determine what, if any, disciplinary action should be taken. Faculty, staff, lab leaders, and leaders in training are required to report to the administration any incident where a weapon is displayed or wielded.

No threatening behavior will be tolerated. The following examples illustrate situations that could result in suspension or expulsion; however, there are other circumstances not listed here which may result in immediate suspension and/or termination of student status:

  • Disruptive or harassing conduct.
  • Possession of weapons or explosives, or violation of criminal laws on MHGS campus or at school sponsored activities.
  • Violence or the threat of violence, including, without limitation, scuffling or throwing objects.
  • Threatening or intimidating other students, supervisors, staff or faculty.
