Honors Diploma

For some students, earning an Honors Diploma is an important goal. I have to be honest, this is not a factor for the colleges because the honors diploma recognition isn't granted until you graduate so colleges are not considering it when making their admissions decisions. The requirements for the honors diploma are established by the state department of education.

One of the important things to know about the honors diploma requirements is that they are different for students in the Classes of 2024 and 2025 than the requirements for students in the Class of 2026 and beyond.

The interesting challenge is that kids have thought the honors diploma requirements were confusing at times, but for the Class of 2026 and beyond they are definitely more difficult to understand all of the nuances.  

Here is a link to the state's explanation of the Honors Diploma requirements.
