Within the Freshman Academy, students will have the option to select which social studies course they will complete. The standard course for all students is Global Studies. However, some students may want to participate in the Advanced Placement Human Geography. This course is being offered the first time at Whitnall this upcoming school year. Students do not need to be in the Honors Program to be in AP Human Geography

Starting with the class of 2022, students will have the option to apply to the Honors Program which will provide unique opportunities and challenges to students who are highly motivated to excel as leaders in academics and other areas of the school community. The Honors Program is designed to inspire high achieving students to strive for excellence. Students will extend their learning through alternative projects, approaches to learning, seminars, and connections in the community. The Honors Program will not provide additional credits but will be indicated on a student’s transcript.

The Honors Program will fill a void in our gifted program while also providing a more comprehensive approach to academics and learning for the highly motivated student. The application process will ensure that students are clear on expectations of the program and that it is a fit for their academic programming.

More information will be provided on August 23 at the parent meeting and to students within the first couple weeks of school. Students do not need to apply for the Honors Program prior to school starting but will need to sign up by September 17.

Did time get away and you forgot to sign up for the transition day for all freshmen on Wednesday, August 29? Please call Rene Freyer, District Office, at 414-525-8414 to register for this event.

Students will meet their teachers, classmates, and become more comfortable with their new school environment. Freshman will be receiving new Chromebook, taking their school photos, and receiving their school ID in addition to many other activities.
