Inspiring Students
to Lead the Way
Lead the Way - it’s what we do at Rabun Gap! Leadership is important in every aspect of campus life.
At the Lower School, fifth graders serve as buddies to our youngest students. Middle School students can participate in student goverment and other leadership positions. In Upper School, opportunities to lead abound through our on-campus and community roles.
Student leaders set a positive example, support the student body, and represent the school in all school matters. We believe all students can be great leaders. Rabun Gap provides a safe space to learn the lessons of leadership and character.

The Rabun Gap Honor Code
"As a member of the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School community, I promise to uphold honor with my words and actions. I will not lie, cheat, or steal. I accept responsibility for my own actions and for what other members of the community may do in my presence. I understand the need for honor and pledge to defend it."
Andrew Silva ‘19, Brazil
"One of the lessons that I’ve learned here is how to be a leader in everything I do."
