Honors Program
Students enrolled in all five honors courses during their sophomore year are invited to participate in the Honors program. A student participating in the Honors program will be required to successfully complete all honors courses for sophomore year as well as continue taking honors or advanced placement courses in his junior and senior years, including courses in English, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students must take an honors elective during junior or senior year. A student’s successful participation in the Honors program earns him an honors diploma at graduation provided he has met all course requirements and the following requirements by the end of his senior year:

Cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher
No semester grade at D or below in any course
Placement in honors or Advanced Placement courses
No violation of the Honesty and Integrity Policy

The Honors program coordinator invites those students who meet the criteria to participate in the Honors program and monitors the progress of Honors program students every semester. Should a student fail to meet the requirements, he will be notified by the coordinator and placed on probation for one semester. If at the end of the following semester the student still does not meet the requirements, the Honors program coordinator will inform the student that he is no longer a participant and no longer eligible for an Honors Diploma. Students may appeal decisions regarding their status in the Honors program by a formal request initiated through the Honors program coordinator. The Honors program committee, a subgroup of the school’s Curriculum Committee, will review appeals. The academic assistant principal makes all final decisions concerning participation in the Honors program.
