• Students who can work at a high level
of competence and accept a highly
rigorous challenge.
Multiple Considerations
• Students do NOT need to take all honors level classes
offered.
– Follow a strength or passion area.

• If a student enrolled in an honors level class earns
lower than a C for the first semester, he or she will be
moved into a non-honors level section of that same
course.
• Students will be well prepared for Advanced
Placement (AP) courses and the Diploma Programme
(DP).
• Students will receive weighted grades in Honors, AP,
and DP classes.
How do I enroll in an Honors class?
1. Complete the Honors Program Expectation and
Application form.**
2. Obtain a Teacher Recommendation for each
subject area.**
3. Get signed Honors Program Expectation and
Application form and Teacher Recommendation
forms to Mrs. Huch Tegano, in Campus Services
by March 3rd.
4. Applications (Intro to Engineering Design and Princ. of
Biomedical Science!), are date stamped.
You will not be able to select honors classes in IC. All
Freshman will be placed in non-honors classes until
their application is complete and approved.
** Available on the High School website.
How Many Honors Classes Should a
Student Take?

Consider:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Ability
Study Habits
Work Ethic
Interest in the subject
Extra-curricular commitments
Post-secondary Goals

Please invite your parents to attend the Honors
Program Information Session at our Incoming
Freshman Parent Information Night (Feb. 20th)!
What is the IB Diploma Programme?
• Two years of advanced college preparation
classes (11th & 12th grade)
• 6-7 honors/college level classes per
semester
• Teaches you how to apply what you have
learned to other situations
• May receive college credit
• To prepare, you should:
– Take 2-3 honors level classes as a freshmen
– Take 3-4 honors level classes as a sophomore
including English

• If you have questions about what to take or
want to know more, see Mrs. Flaherty
Consider Career Goals
What you want to do with
your life after high school may
help determine what classes
you take while you’re in high
school.
Electives Classes
Electives are classes you can select
based on your areas of interest.
