Overview of the East High Honors Academy

The East High Honors Academy was formed at the beginning of the 2001-2002 school year in order to promote the importance of post-secondary education to East High students.

The overall goal of the East High Honors Academy is to provide students with the necessary skills required to become successful post-secondary learners. The emphasis of the program is to promote students to attend a post-secondary college or university.
The students of the East High School Honors Academy are selected with the expectation that they will pursue both academic and personal excellence.  The Honors Academy courses are designed to meet the needs of the academically motivated student and to challenge him or her to fulfill his potential and pursue post-secondary education.

Students are given more freedom to make decisions and govern their personal conduct as members of the Honors Academy.  In addition, students are expected to adhere to high standards of personal conduct and academic performance.  Consideration for others and knowledge of and adherence to the rules of the school district should guide personal conduct. 

The difficulty level of the courses, the pace of material, and the overall high expectations on the part of the teachers make the Honors Academy a rigorous program. Teachers expect that students will complete all assignments on time. Teachers expect that if students are having a difficult time with a course they will seek the help of the teacher. Teachers also expect that all students will be successful.
