As we prepare to head back to school, there are several changes that have taken place and I wanted to alert you to one which is that what was formerly known as "Enriched" courses will now be called "Honors" courses. This change is a title change only - so the level of work expected and the grades you earn in these classes still count the same as they have in the past. This change is important because it will make it easier for colleges to understand your transcripts when they are evaluating them as the phrase "Honors" is more common across the country. Hopefully this will help clarify for when you pick up your schedules next week and see the new class names.
