Challenge Yourself!
- Pick one subject and move up to Honors, GT, or AP
- Colleges look for rigorous courses
- Honors, GT and AP course grades are weighted and can improve your GPA
- For example, earning a B in a GT or AP class is worth 4 quality points, the same as earning an A in a regular class!
- Weighted GPA also impacts Honor Roll, honor societies, and extracurricular eligibility
- Talk to your teachers, counselor and parents/guardians about moving up
- You can do it!
- Rising sophomores – consider a Career Academy and take the courses you need to complete the program
