The Scheduling Label
 It should have your name on it.
 What is listed is what is recommended for you. You can take any
or all honors classes listed on the label.
 If Early College is listed on your label, that means that you have
applied to EC and have been accepted.
Early College/Honors Question
• What if you are in EC and have honors recommendations listed?
• You can be in EC and take honors classes.
• EC language and EC world geography are taught together.
Therefore, you must take both classes in EC or both have to
be honors level. You cannot be EC in one and honors in the
other.
Honors Question
 If you would like to take an honors class and are not
recommended, you will need to appeal online to the HS.
 Go to the HS website
http://www.centergrove.k12.in.us/Domain/77
