See below for program descriptions.  For questions, please contact our Assistant Principal, Val Calvert (valerie.calvert@jeffco.k12.co.us).

Honors at Bell: 

Bell’s Honors Program is open to all students in English and Math. Students may choose honors extension opportunities each semester throughout the year and will be required to complete an honors portfolio. If all honors requirements are met, the student's transcript will indicate an Honors designation in the content area. 

Honors English Language Arts

English Language Arts Honors options at Bell will be offered at every grade level and on every team. Honors options will be presented within select assignments, and students can choose to complete the Honors-level work. The goal is not to create “more” work for students, but, instead, to facilitate deeper understanding and higher levels of thinking. Students who complete 90% of the Honors option assignments, and earn an 85% or above on every Honors assignment completed and submitted, will receive an Honors Designation at the end of each semester. Students will collect and display their completed Honors work on their portfolios.
