At Honeoye Central School we believe that all students can achieve. We affirm that student success and achievement is important and needs to be every student’s top priority. We also believe that while education is an entitlement, privileges are earned after successful completion of responsibilities and expectations. We believe it is the school’s responsibility to provide supports for students to achieve academic goals and the student’s responsibility to utilize these supports to achieve success.
Based on this philosophy, we maintain an academic eligibility program that provides:
