HONORS CLASSES  The Honors curriculum is geared toward freshmen and sophomores.  Grades in Honors classes are weighted.  Honors classes are often taken in preparation for the transition to Advanced Placement courses in junior and senior years.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES  These accelerated courses prepare students to take the national AP exams (given in the spring) as well as help them prepare for the rigors of college.  If students score well on the AP exam, they may be granted advanced placement status and/or college credit.

DUAL CREDIT COURSES  Dual credit courses earn both high school and college credit for the same class. Guaranteed credit with a C or higher.  Refer to the back of your registration form for dual credit eligible courses. (DC)
