The Distinguished Achievement Program recognizes students who demonstrate levels of performance equivalent to college students or work done by professionals in the arts, sciences, business, industry, or in community service.
Advanced measures focus on demonstrated student performance at the college or professional level.
Student performance is assessed through an external review process. The PSAT score may count as only one advanced measure regardless of the number of honors received by the student. The Distinguished Achievement Program will be the only advanced diploma plan available for graduates of the year 2000.
