Recommended HS Program
1. Provides students with opportunities to complete higher-level course work,
particularly in mathematics, science, social studies, and languages other than
English, thereby:
(a) Increasing students' readiness for higher education and reducing the need for additional preparation for college-level work;
(b) Preparing students for additional advanced work and research in both career and educational settings;
(c) Allowing students, in certain instances, to receive college credit for their high school course work; and
(d) Enabling students to be eligible for certain financial aid programs for which they would otherwise be ineligible (e.g., theTEXAS grant program);
2. Enables students to receive an academic achievement record noting the completion of either the recommended program or higher; and
3. Provide students who elect to complete the distinguished achievement program with an opportunity to demonstrate student performance at the college or career level by demonstrating certain advanced measures of achievement.
