Human Rights Policy

The Manhattan Hunter Science High School community believes that all of its citizens have basic human rights that must not be violated. These rights include:

• Freedom to develop one’s own personality, so long as it does not interfere with the rights of others, without disrespect or pressure from cliques, interest groups or other individuals
• Freedom from mental or physical abuse such as name calling, intimidation or harassment
• Freedom from being set apart or mocked because of race, gender, religion, physical strength, features, friendship groups, age, culture, handicap, financial status, dress, classroom performance, sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation, or any other reason
• Freedom from being harassed in the classroom – the right to be treated respectfully
