Only At The Honor Roll School Home / About Us / Only At THRS Choosing The Honor Roll School We know that parents have a lot of choices for their child’s education. So, why do families choose The Honor Roll School and stay with us until their child graduates? It’s because so many wonderful things happen at our private school, #OnlyAtTHRS. Let us tell you more! Student Leadership Students from The Honor Roll School are heralded for their outstanding leadership. Most clubs and organizations at our school are entirely led by our students. Our assemblies are also led by students and help them practice their public speaking. All students participate in service learning projects, from canned food drives for the holidays or helping to raise breast cancer awareness. Our student council hosts multiple events each year and gives a voice to all students. Field Experience Field experience allows our students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the real world. We believe they advance at greater rates through experiential learning and using the world as yet another tool to relate their studies. Hands-on, fun learning elevates students’ time here because they are not restricted to being in a classroom. They also learn about independence and responsibility! No Limits to Performance Only at The Honor Roll School can students continuously advance between grade levels. Using our Year Advanced Model, our school allows students to break free from being defined by the restrictive testing standards of Texas. They can progress in the classroom beyond their age level. We do not teach to a test. We believe that not setting limits for our students can prepare them for the future. Middle schoolers can even earn up to five high school credits during their time at our school. Parent Involvement Parents are an essential part of our school community. They are our partners. We want them to be present in their students’ experience and support their learning. Some opportunities for our parents are the Dolphin Athletics Booster Club and the Fine Arts Booster Club. The Honor Roll School is a family away from home and we strive to involve you in as many events as possible. Try it All The Honor Roll School is dedicated to cultivating personal interests and passions, but letting our students try it all. We have many clubs and activities for students. They can refine their interest and make tons of friends along the way. Students can even create their own clubs with a faculty sponsor and a minimum of 10 members. Our clubs include Dungeons and Dragons, Calligraphy, and STEM. We also have athletics for all ages, whether it be middle school sports, junior athletics, or extracurriculars.
