Diploma Endorsement Programs
Since 2011, our students have had the option to pursue specialized diploma endorsements in the Academy of Global Studies (AGS) and Leadership Institute (LI), programs that have enriched our community by allowing students to delve deeply into the humanities and develop their leadership skills. To further expand these offerings and create a well-rounded set of options, in 2025, we introduced two new diploma endorsements – one with an arts focus and another with a STEM emphasis. These additions ensure that every student, regardless of their interests, has the opportunity to explore a path aligned with their passions.
