Congrats to JHS Honors Diploma graduates!

2018 Honors Diploma
This year at Jefferson, 49 seniors applied and qualified for an Honors Diploma.  These students acquired a minimum of 34 AP/Honors credits in the core academic areas and have at least two credits in fine arts, foreign language or Project Lead the Way courses, maintaining at least a “B” average while doing so.  This option provides an incentive to pursue a comprehensive program of AP/Honors throughout high school and is an important component of Jefferson’s gifted and talented program. This honor is acknowledged on their Jefferson diploma and students are recognized in the graduation program.
