- Appropriate language must be used at all times. Name-calling, profanity, bullying, and/or inappropriate actions will not be tolerated.

- Breckenridge History expects students to be respectful of property; therefore, any damage intentionally done to property will be repaired or the damaged elements replaced by the student responsible.

- Breckenridge History expects purity of self with one's own body; therefore, the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products is strictly prohibited while at a Breckenridge History activity.

- Breckenridge History expects students to dress modestly and appropriately, in a way that promotes a healthy environment and eliminates distractions. Overly tight or revealing clothing is not acceptable. Midriffs must be covered. Undergarments are not to be visible or exposed at any time.
