Administrators presented a 2026–27 plan to combine grade 9 English and Global Studies students in shared classes with embedded honors; Spanish 9 also uses embedded honors. Math and science retain separate honors courses.
Why it matters to families
Families choosing courses need to understand how students earn honors credit within shared classes.

The presentation sets a 90% cumulative grade and honors-level work on five of seven major assignments as criteria. Parents asked for clear requirements at the meeting.
