    Advanced Scholars Program Proposed Plan

    2016-2017

     

    The Roosevelt High School Advanced Scholar program is a rigorous academic and enrichment opportunity offered to students at Roosevelt High School. The program seeks to challenge students to reach their full potential while at the same time preparing them for success after high school. The students will be engaged in an environment that will challenge them to develop their individual capacities to the fullest extent. Additionally, students will also participate in enrichment activities promoting various post high school options, college, and scholarship opportunities.

     

    Applying to and the Requirements for the Program

     

    During the fall, the Roosevelt Rider Scholar Program will be open to any tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade student who wishes to enter the challenging framework required by the program. All students who successfully complete all components of the program will be granted the Advanced Scholars designated diploma upon graduation. In the spring, ninth graders will have an opportunity to apply for the program.
