THE EPHEBIC OATH

Our school was founded on the traditions of scholarship and service to community.

The Ephebic Oath was administered to the first new class of Townsend Harris High School at the convocation held on October 25, 1984, at Queens College. Each class of Harris students renews this pledge on Founders' Day, when the entering class is administered the oath by members of the senior class.

Our students give back to the school and the community in a variety of projects and acts of service. One way we can give back is though sharing positive messages and art painted on rocks and left for the community to find. Creating these rocks are also a way for students to work on their own mental health and well being.

The Ephebic Oath reads:

I shall never bring disgrace to my city, nor shall I ever desert my comrades in the ranks; but I, both alone and with my many comrades, shall fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city. I shall willingly pay heed to whoever renders judgment with wisdom and shall obey both the laws already established and whatever laws the people in their wisdom shall establish. I, alone and with my comrades, shall resist anyone who destroys the laws or disobeys them. I shall not leave my city any less but rather greater than I found it.
