Can participating in honors classes earn you graduation cords?

I’m a bit curious about the recognition you get from honors classes. Some seniors at my school had cords at graduation for various achievements. Do you get special cords for completing a lot of honors classes, or is that just an AP or IB thing?

Hey there! Great question about the recognition for your hard work in honors classes. Completion of honors classes often comes with its own set of accolades, but it really can vary from one high school to the next. While some schools might offer cords for an honors diploma, others may reserve graduation cords for distinctions like AP or IB scholar designations, National Honor Society membership, or specific subject honors. The best thing to do is to check with your school's administration or guidance department to see what the policy is at your school. Also, keep up the great work in those honors classes - it's a fantastic way to challenge yourself academically and prepare for college!
