+# Mergington High School Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment for
+our school community, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to
+make participation in the Extra-Curricular Activities project a
+respectful and harassment-free experience for everyone.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
+
+- Using welcoming and inclusive language
+- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+- Focusing on what is best for the students and the school community
+- Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+- The use of inappropriate language or imagery
+- Trolling, insulting comments, and personal attacks
+- Public or private harassment
+- Publishing others' private information without explicit permission
+- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a school setting
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of
+acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair
+corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit,
+or reject comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions that
+are not aligned to this Code of Conduct.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or the school. Examples of
+representing the project include using an official project email address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the IT Club faculty advisor. All complaints will be reviewed and
+investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may
+face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by the school administration.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org),
