The goal of the Moore Catholic Honors Program is to provide a liberal arts education
that will challenge students, prepare them for competitive colleges, and develop the
skills they will need to become leaders of the society in which they will work and live.
Students are selected for honors courses based on the results of our own interdisciplinary examination.
Some students may achieve an excellent score in Math and/or English and will be placed in honors classes
in one or both of those subjects. Those students will also be placed in Biology. Students also have the
opportunity as freshmen to take level II of a foreign language if they show proficiency on a departmental examination.
The Honors Program is designed to challenge and motivate students who have strength in specific academic areas.
The Honors Program provides students the opportunity to advance in their particular areas of expertise and to
remain in the college preparatory curriculum for other courses. Most Honors students are active in extracurricular endeavors.
This includes participation in sports, student government, and service activities, as well as the Institute of Performing Arts.
Honors courses offer advanced and challenging educational opportunities to students who are
self-motivated and capable of academic excellence. The program develops critical thinking
and problem solving skills. Modern techniques of research and hands-on activities are also
used to enrich the curriculum.
With the Honors Program, students receive access to state of the art computers and science equipment,
and an energized curriculum led by prestigious faculty members committed to the ideals of the program
and the success of each individual student. We are confident in the ability of the Honors Program to
foster motivation and discipline leading to personal and intellectual growth, to instill a sense of
deep obligation to self and society, to provide a genuine commitment to responsible living and to
meet the needs of all honor students.
