Honors Diploma
Students may earn one or more honors diplomas as established by the Ohio Department of Education. These designations will be recognized at Commencement with white honors cords and also noted on their diploma as a gold seal.
Honors diplomas recognize students who exceed minimum graduation requirements by taking rigorous coursework and engaging in robust, real-world experiences.
While most students pursue an Academic Honor’s Diploma; there are 4 other types offered. Some of them require Field Experience or a Portfolio so we advise students to talk with their School Counselor early and often.
