Importance Of Implementing The Honors Credit Program

As the newly promoted director of student achievement for Washington, D.C Public Schools, I am fully committed to the expansion of current program offerings as well as the creation of additional programs. To achieve this, I will make use of the principles learned in my graduate budgeting course to assess the current financial situation, plan the department’s future direction, create and implement the new annual budget, and lastly, evaluate the success of the programs and the budget in preparation of repeating these steps.

Organizations such as the National Honors Society have more than just one single objective for students to accomplish. The main goals of a group like this one offer many purposes designed to benefit students’ futures and prepare them not only for their academic life, but their social life as well. This organization provides students with the opportunity to widen their social circle and allows them to meet others who share the same aspirations they hold. Not only that, but with the recognition of academic achievements given through this group, it encourages students to keep thriving in their studies and motivates them to go above and beyond the average standards. Lastly, it also inspires students to improve their leadership skills and to

The Governor’s Honors Program has been a dream of mine ever since by brother, Dammy, went there. He would talk about it constantly while I listened intensively. Dammy spoke of the classes he had for technology, his roommate, and the fun classes and activities he got to do after he finished classes. He told me about the time he went swimming and the gym class he had. Dammy also spoke about the new people he met, his PA, and how much fun they had. His words encouraged me to try and make it to GHP. He has always been my role model and I try to follow in his footsteps, especially when he talks about the activity with excitement.

As a student of The Pennsylvania State University, I have spent time observing my peers on a day to day basis. As a curious individual, I like to see how people act and what they do in and out of the classroom. I have paid close attention to the students within Schreyer’s, and I have even already taken some honors credits where I had the opportunity to work with honors students. Based on my observations, I have found the Schreyer Honors College to stand for three main things: academic achievement, leadership among peers, and community outreach. As a hardworking student, I strive to incorporate these qualities in my life. As a result, I am interested in joining Schreyer Honors College so that I may be able to have more academic, leadership,

Before I started my first semester of college I made sure that my academic and career goals were set to avoid indecisiveness. One of my intellectual objectives has always been to be a part of the honors college. Deep in my heart I know I have what it takes to be in an organization of students that excel with integrity. Furthermore, the benefits that come along with being a student within the honors college can assist me with getting through my scholastic agenda which includes internships, scholarships and honorary mentions.

I am interested in joining the Honors College because it is essential to me to be surrounded by motivated and determined students, like me. Honors College will provide this type of committed community.

The National Honors Society boasts of members with significant academic accomplishments, selfless hours of community service, and strong leadership capabilities as a representative of the school’s excellence. Becoming a member of the National Honors Society is a prestigious honor. As a student, I strive for excellence in my academics and have made the honor roll every quarter, showing my aim and dedication to reaching my highest potential. I try not to compete with other students, but with myself. My academics are the result of my hard work, and my dedication towards grades correlates to the dedication I have towards becoming a leader and a role model for the community.

On Oct. 21, students were selected to be in National Honor Society during a “tapping” ceremony at the high school. Almost all of the students and staff at GHV are in attendance of the ceremony and act as onlookers. During this ceremony, students who are either juniors or seniors meeting the NHS requirements and having submitted an application wait in anticipation as current members walk around the auditorium delivering paper slips of admission.

This could not have been further from the truth. After collecting herself, she stated, “I’m APL48.” She placed her hand on my label-sticker, holding back reminiscent tears, and explained how every freshman received one on orientation day.

Freshman year of high school was a scary, but an exciting time. Going into a new building with new teachers and three other grades is terrifying. But this story is going to talk about my most memorable moment: getting my letter and being accepted into Freshmen Academy Honor Society. Winter of early 2014, i got my letter in the mail about being eligible to apply to be in Freshman Academy Honor Society. Which shocked me, but it also made be happy. It showed me that I’m capable of a 3.0 GPA or even higher.

For applicants to the Honors College, I would ensure the most qualified candidates admission to the college.We are not just seeking students with a high academic standard, but someone who can utilize and build upon the reputation of this program. To do this, I would ask a simple, logical question. However, it can elicit a multi-level response from students to see how they respond to the question posed. I would ask the question, “What do you intend on achieving while a member of the Honors Program?”

The Laguna Beach High School’s Administration has incinerated the GPAs of its incoming class of freshman. The disturbing news came out after the administration came to a decision and announce to throw out the weight honors credit of a 5.0 instead of a 4.0 for certain classes. For reasons like how the UC and USC college system drops all honor credit beside AP and how students have to take certain honors classes to be valedictorian. The decision was originally made only for the honors Algebra II for the class of 2019, but during the schoolyear in late fall the district said that the class of 2020 will not have any honor weighted classes. The only weighted classes would be the classes the college system sees as honors and AP classes. Therefore, in my opinion I disagree with the decision the administration has chosen and believe that all honors classes should be weighted.

Honors Convocation was a program that recognized students with high grade point averages and academic success. Composed of a lot of speeches, awards, and small performances, the ceremony was a way of acknowledging the hard work and dedication that students had to aim for good grades. Although the program was long-winded and at points extremely lackluster, I did enjoy the musical parts, particularly the pitchy yet effortful piece performed by the NCCU choir. While there wasn’t much that I necessarily “learned”, it was still overall a beneficial event that furthered my experiences within the campus of North Carolina Central University, since technically I’m becoming a college student myself. While I realize that Honors Convocation is supposed
