Philosophy
The purpose of the Academic Honors Diploma is to encourage and reward students who pursue a rigorous, advanced course of study during the high school years. It is established as a part of Indiana's education plan for academic excellence and is available to all students who wish to pursue the challenge of the Academic Honors Diploma. A broad range of students should be encouraged to pursue the Academic Honors Diploma. It was never intended to be limited to only a few students who are considered to be academically talented.
Earning this diploma requires a student to compile a total of 47 credits. It is recognized that few students are academically talented in every subject area taught in high school, and that many students possess the desire and ambition to seek the highest and most challenging opportunities available to them. For this purpose, the Academic Honors Diploma is offered as a means to acknowledge their dedication and hard work.
