The middle school honors program is designed to meet the needs of high achieving students through advanced learning opportunities which provide a qualitatively differentiated curriculum, acceleration, and depth and complexity of subject matter. Honors courses are offered in mathematics and language arts for 7th and 8th grades. The curriculum includes extensive reading and writing and requires that students have excellent work habits and strong organizational skills.
