DISTINGUISHED PLAN
For the Distinguished Plan, students must achieve any combination of FOUR of these advanced measures:
*Original Research Project
*AP Score of 3 or above
*National Merit Finalist or Commended Status
*College Course Scores of 3.0 (B) or higher or tech prep classes with grade of “B” or higher with tech prep class taken in 11th or 12th grade.
*To get the distinguished seal, you must fill out the documentation forms (pick up from Mrs. Rhoten or Mrs. Clayton) and return them to Mrs. Teague. If you do not, you may not get the seal even if you have completed the measures. We must have documentation of the measures for you to receive the seal. We really mean it! We will not give you the Distinguished stamp if you do not provide the appropriate documentation!
