Academic Profile and Student Services

Academic Profile

In planning a personal program of studies, students should consider requirements for graduation; scholastic motivation and ability; post high school educational and career plans; special interests; the nature and requirements of individual courses.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY PROGRAM

In addition to the high school graduation requirements, students who are planning a traditional college preparatory program should complete another credit each in mathematics and science and at least two credits in a world language. We encourage students to choose additional course work that will assist them with studies in college and/or future career goals.

HONORS PROGRAM

At Bonny Eagle our goal is to encourage every student to strive for academic excellence. Students are encouraged to enroll in the more rigorous Honors courses for their core requirements. Please consult your current teacher for a better understanding of the material in an Honors level course. Teacher recommendations are encouraged, but not required.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES

Advanced Placement, or AP, is a program (sponsored by the College Board) of college-level courses and exams for secondary school students. Over 90% of the colleges that most AP candidates will attend grant credit or advanced placement to students whose AP exam grades are considered acceptable. Bonny Eagle offers many AP courses. Some Honors courses, though not designated AP, follow a strong, challenging curriculum and prepare students to take the AP exam. More information is available on page 10. Fee waivers may be available for those who qualify.

EARLY COLLEGE COURSE and High School Graduation Requirements

Please do not rely on early college courses to meet high school graduation requirements. This is particularly important for online or on-campus courses. We review every application and cannot guarantee university course approval or course availability. The primary goal of the early college program is to provide additional opportunities to your students, not to replace the high school curriculum.

EARLY GRADUATION/ EARLY COURSE COMPLETION

Students are allowed the option of earning a diploma after 3 years  or completion of high school requirements at the end of semester 2 their 4th year of attendance at BEHS. Students who have earned 20 credits are eligible to apply.  Early graduation/early course completion is not for all students and needs the principal’s prior approval. Students should see their school counselor for an application if interested.

Student Services

COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM THROUGH STUDENT SERVICES 

Our mission is to implement a comprehensive developmental school-counseling program promoting student success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, advocacy, and social/emotional and career development. Each student is assigned to a school counselor. Students may meet with their school counselor as needed. Parents/guardians are also encouraged to consult with a counselor concerning their student. Appointments can be made by contacting the BEHS Student Services Office or contacting a school counselor directly.

For those students with an identified disability, there are special education teachers known as case managers who monitor their progress. Teachers, parents, guardians or students themselves may complete a referral to special education if the student is not making adequate progress in a regular education program of instruction. The process involves a meeting of the Individual Educational Plan (IEP) team. Parents, guardians and students are invited to be part of the IEP meeting.
