Students may apply for admission to the Honors School after the completion of the first semester

 of their senior year provided they have earned an overall minimum G.P.A. of 4.0 for all

coursework. “All coursework” includes courses not submitted as part of the 24-credit HonorsSchool requirement.

Citizenship

Honors School students must be of the highest character. Students who have violated behavior standards will be denied admission to the Honors School.

Behaviors that will disqualify a student from participating include cheating, theft,

fighting, insolence directed at school personnel, and vandalism. The behaviors listed

here are examples of unacceptable behavior, and the list is not intended to be all inclusive.

 Academic Requirements

a. Honors School students shall have qualified for a State of Nevada “Advanced

Diploma.”

b. Honors School students must have earned a minimum of three (3) credits in

Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

c. College classes that qualify for “Dual-Credit” can be counted as regular high

school classes. College classes do not carry added  value for GPA calculation

purposes. Three (3) college credits equal one-half (1/2) credit of high school

work.

d. Submission of twenty-four (24) high school credits with “letter grades.” Courses

with a “letter grade” of “D” or “F” may not be submitted.

e. Classes that are graded on a “pass/fail” basis as opposed to a “letter grade” basis

will not count toward the twenty-four (24)-credit entrance requirement.

f. An overall G.P.A. minimum of 4.0 for all coursework. “All coursework”

includes courses not submitted as part of the 24-credit Honors School

requirement.

 Ranking

  a. A separate G.P.A. calculation will be made within the Honors School for the

purpose of ranking Honors School members. This calculation will be based on

the twenty-four (24) credits submitted.

b. Top positions in each graduating class at Churchill County High School are filled

by Honors School members only. Any Honors School student with a 4.8 G.P.A.

or higher will be a “Co-valedictorian.” The two highest-ranking “Co-valedictorians”

will deliver commencement addresses.
