Gifted Jaguars and Eagles

This is a video I made to replace the meeting we normally have in January. We can't meet this year because of the Corona virus so I'm hoping this can help parents and student who are trying to figure out which classes to register for. Feel free to email me any questions at maby@isd271.org. https://youtu.be/MEqx8jF1JN0

Since this year is not normal, I think we should try a digital form for the honors diploma application. This is what I'm going to try out this year: https://forms.gle/ZRCp9PPS93KVzZoU9

Interested in earning an Honors Diploma at graduation from Jefferson High School?  Come to a meeting for students to hear about the requirements and to get an application during advisory on December 19th with Meredith Aby-Keirstead from the gifted and talented department.

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.   Umaimah Ahmed Frederick Alonzi Rachel J.

There is an information meeting for students interested in graduating with an Honors Diploma during the second half of advisory on Wednesday, November 15th in the front of the auditorium.   Applications will also be available in the Career Center for students who cannot come to the meeting.  For more information on the Jefferson Honors Diploma check out this  video  or read the  Honors Diploma flyer  . Email Meredith Aby-Keirstead at  maby@isd271.org  for more information.    

Students who are interested in earning an Honors Diploma at graduation should stop by C20 or the Career Center to pick up an application and a flyer.  There will be an information meeting for seniors during homeroom on November 16th in room C20 .  I am taking Honors Diploma applications through the end of trimester two.  Students can apply at any time during their time at JHS.  If you want more information go to this link  to read about the Honors Diploma program and to get the application form or you could watch this video about our Honors Diploma program.  

This is the time of year where I get lots of questions about the Honors Diploma.  Please watch this video or read this flyer if you are interested.  Every year students get upset if they don't qualify.  If you want to qualify please plan ahead.  It is hard to get 36 credits in AP/Honors courses if you don't plan ahead.  Please email me if you'd like an advising appointment to plan for how you can earn an Honors Diploma.  Good luck.
