English, Math, Science, and Social Studies make up the core classes in our curriculum. All students in North Carolina take a combination of class in those areas to meet the NC Graduation Requirements. 

Standard vs. Honors: 

Honors Classes: These courses generally cover more material in greater depth and may include additional topics not covered in standard classes. The pace is often faster, and the coursework is more challenging.  Honors might be a good option for you if you have previously gotten A's and B's in your courses.  Honors, AP, and Dual Enrollment (A-B Tech classes) are weighted; Points are added into your GPA. Students should understand that a poor grade in an honors class can really harm the student's GPA. 

Standard Classes: These classes cover the essential curriculum for the subject but may not delve as deeply into advanced topics. The pace is typically more moderate compared to honors classes.

Teacher Expectations:

Honors Classes: Teachers in honors classes often have higher expectations for student performance, critical thinking, and independent work. The emphasis may be on analytical skills and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Standard Classes: Teachers in standard classes typically tailor their expectations to a more diverse range of student abilities. The focus may be on ensuring that all students grasp fundamental concepts.

Summer Work

*denotes classes that usually require summer course work. Summer work is posted to the school website, Facebook, and emailed to enrolled students when possible. It is the responsibility of the students to find and complete the work; we highly recommend reaching out to the teacher for the class.
