The honors course program at PACA is designed to stimulate the capable, motivated student who is able to go beyond what is done in the regular classroom, and/or the student who has an unusually strong interest in a particular subject area. Specified courses could be considered honors if the student does appropriate extra course work. The honors student who successfully carries out his honors project and who maintains at least an average of 85 both for the project and for the course receives a bonus of .3 grade point. If a student withdraws from the honors program the withdrawal is recorded on their high school transcript.
