The syllabus for each class is tentative; much will depend on how school will be structured throughout the year.
All classes may expect to complete special projects, writing assignments, and research. Honor students will be expected to collaborate and present material to the class in the form of plays, skits, creative writings, research project presentations, or in other forms of media. Honor students may expect extra reading and research assignments, as well. All honor courses will follow the department of education's guidelines.
