SHOULD I SIGN UP FOR HONORS ENGLISH 9?

Honors English 9 is a challenging English class offered to students who desire a more rigorous selection during their freshman year. This class involves a more intensive study of English with an in-depth analysis of literature and composition. Students in this class should love to read and enjoy tackling more difficult writing and reading pieces. If you are interested in becoming part of the Honors English 9 program, you will need to register for the qualifying exam and have your English teacher complete an evaluation form.

To begin the process toward class membership, please contact Krista Friend, Enrollment Management Coordinator at Concordia. Her phone number is 260-483-1102 ext. 219 and her email is krista@clhscadets.com.

WHICH MATH CLASS SHOULD I TAKE?

The math department offers the following as indicators in helping teachers, parents, and students to make recommendations and selections.

1. Students who successfully complete an Algebra I course during the 8th grade with a teacher recommendation may select Honors Geometry.
2. If they are not ready for Honors Geometry they should select Honors Algebra to enhance their understanding of Algebra. Below are some indicators for guiding your recommendation concerning readiness for Honors Geometry.
3. The regular Geometry course is for sophomores, juniors, and seniors, NOT freshmen.

Guidelines for Selecting Honors Geometry:

1. Student should demonstrate an appreciation for outside of class work.
2. Student should be very successful in Algebra I (8th grade A, B)
3. Student should demonstrate understanding of algebra as opposed to doing algebra.
4. Condition number one may be the most accurate overall indicator.
