The purpose of the honors program is to provide an environment of challenge to those students who achieve high standards of excellence during elementary school years. This program benefits the student both socially and physically. Minimum Grade B 3. Student does not have to qualify for every subject. Each area of eligibility is of equal weight and importance.
Class size is at the discretion of building administration.
Student will be ranked in the four areas of eligibility and the students with the highest amount of points will be given the first opportunity to take the class. If students tie for the final openings in the class, the achievement score in the subject area will be the determining factor. New students to the district who may seem to qualify for any honor class will have evaluation done and their total matrix score will be added to the list of total students. The Gifted Program will provide the student with opportunities to develop expanded skills in interpersonal relations, divergent thinking, creative problem solving, logical reasoning, creative expression, critical thinking, and research. Our objectives are to offer choir as a scheduled activity, select appropriate students and assign them to choir, and perform as part of junior high fine arts productions.
