The Alpha Honors Program at Lane Tech College
Prep High School is an intensive honors program focusing on
science fair, mathematics, technical reading and writing,
engineering, and technology. Students eligible to enroll in the
Alpha Honors Program complete their science, mathematics, and
English courses in a cohort setting. This cohort setting
consists of approximately 30 Alpha Honors students who attend
their science, mathematics, and English courses together each
day as a team. Alpha Honors students are programmed with the
same students in these three core areas and are randomly
programmed in their remaining classes. The result is students
experience a “team approach” in the honors curricular offering
provided by the science, mathematics, and English courses.
Alpha Honors students engage in highly structured curricula in
their science, mathematics, and English classes. The Alpha
teachers employ an aligned curriculum and support students in
the development of problem-solving skills, experimental design,
data and statistical analysis, library research techniques, and
technical reading and writing skills. The Alpha Honors students
and teachers are afforded a unique educational experience at
Lane Tech and work as a “team.” As a result, students are
provided a high-quality, challenging curriculum that prepares
students for college success.
Incoming freshman Alpha Honors students are provided a one-week
workshop in which they meet with the Alpha team teachers and
sophomore Alpha students to engage in peer one-on-one mentoring
and prepare for the upcoming school year.
The Alpha Honors Program is a rigorous program
that also qualifies Alpha students to enroll in AP courses (for
college credit) and begin working with university personnel at
the onset of freshman year. If you would like to learn more
