Signature Academies will grow as we market to both student applicants and admission officers the unique curriculum, field work and rigor within each academy.Counselor presentations will be provided to incoming 9th grade students and parents regarding benefits of participating in Signature Academies.Diploma and transcript distinction for both academies, in addition to State Seal of Biliteracy for AGS, will allow students to be more competitive in the admissions process and better prepared for post-secondary opportunities. Master Schedule will be intentionally designed to support placement of Signature Academy course offerings to minimize course conflicts and reduce the impact of singletons.
