Students have been pre-loaded into the core courses (English, Math, and Science) they are projected to have the most success.  We do not deny any student access to a more rigorous course, however, a student will have to fill out an honors agreement and meet with administration before being bumped up to a higher course than their projections indicate. More on this later…
