Honors courses are offered in most academic areas. Students enter these classes by meeting the prerequisite or through departmental approval. Honors courses are weighted in accordance with District policy. These additional points are not reflected on the report card or the transcript but are used for the computation of a student’s weighted Grade Point Average.
