Honors Program
For qualified students, honors courses are open in English, mathematics, science, and social studies. Each department establishes requirements for admission to honors courses. Students who meet the requirements are authorized to register for honors courses during the course selection process. In special cases, the administration, with the recommendation of the particular department, may arrange for non-honors students to take honors courses when space is available in classes concerned.
An honors course will be offered only if a sufficient number of students pre-register for the course. From time to time, the administration may add courses to or remove courses from the Honors Program. Any addition or removal of a course will usually be announced by the end of the school year prior to the academic year for which the change will take effect. Once a student receives honors credit for a particular course, the honors credit remains even though the course is later removed from the Honors Program.
