As a cadet at Joseph Stilwell Military Academy of Leadership,

1. I will conduct myself in a manner that will bring honor to myself, my fellow cadets, and my school.

2. I will show respect for all school officials, fellow cadets, and for the property of the school and others.

3. I will learn and follow all JSMAL rituals, routines, and regulations, and take responsibility for my conduct.

4. I will wear my entire JSMAL uniform correctly every day with pride and dignity.

5. I will work to become physically and mentally fit.

6. I will come to class prepared every day, bring all materials required, and actively participate and engage to achieve academic excellence.

7. I will be on time and attend school daily; however, if absent, I will seek out each teacher for missing assignments, and return them promptly.

8. I will maintain a positive attitude by being receptive to new ideas and new ways of learning, and respecting the opinions of my teachers and fellow cadets.

9. I will rely on my own abilities to succeed. A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.

10. I will work to excel in leadership and I will support and encourage my fellow cadets to do the same.
