It’s called “HEP” and geography seems to be the vehicle for it. She’ll be with a normal group for her other classes.
HEP because they are groovy? I’m teasing you. i know pub schools have G&T stuff bc my nieces and nephews have been in it. My kids have never gone to a school that had such a thing and all i can figure is that it’s a way to separate out the college bound from the rest? Neither SU nor UD have honors colleges, though i know that there are some colleges who do. all three of the kids HSs are/were college prep. Kiski Area back in my day had “tracks”: academic scientific, academic cultural, and then i guess like secretarial and vo-tech tracks. It does make sense to separate kids out that way. But it does pander to parents who want to believe their kids are SPECIAL. Visitation more than the other two was cut-throat beyond belief. You have girls who have been the top of their classes all their lives now in this class of 100, coming from three jurisdictions. they were so fiercely competitive in every way, sports, academics etc. Xsteen got an excellent education but she wasn’t wild about it while she was there.
