    Honors students will be required to do a additional honors project that will require them to do additional research.  Click on Methods of Science Inquiry to follow the link to my calendar.      I am available by appointment by calling the school office at any time.    Follow the Plan for Success link to assist your student to prepare for success in college, career and life.
