The Floyd County Schools Middle School Honors Program is an educational choice that prepares middle school students for the rigor of high school and college work.  Students will be presented with the discipline of pre-Advanced Placement (AP) classes along with enhanced learning experiences focusing on critical thinking skills, research work, experiential learning, and service learning.

The Honors Preparatory (HP) Program incorporates high standards for teaching and learning that were developed specifically for this program.  The program is designed for students who have demonstrated above average academic ability, motivation, and interest for further advanced post-secondary study and will prepare students for the challenge and rigor of high school and college courses.
***This is NOT a pull-out program but an Advanced Content delivery model. Honors classes meet every day, students may have four honors classes a day. 9th Grade Literature, Algebra I and Physical Science offered in the 8th grade will count as high school CORE credit.
Students residing within the Floyd County School district will receive priority consideration for admission into the program.  However, a limited number of out-of-district students will be accepted based on merit and available space.

The deadline for submission of completed application is  March 11, 2022. Applications should be completed and turned in online via google forms.
