Group of graduates in cap and gowns, smiling at the cameraCentral Piedmont’s Honors Program is all about building meaningful connections! Through honors-to-honors (H2H) partnerships, we’re creating new pathways with 4-year colleges and universities and strengthening existing relationships to help students thrive after transferring.

🌟 Exciting News!
Our most recent H2H partnership is with Queen’s University Honors Program! 🎉 One of Central Piedmont’s very own Truist Honors Scholars is already reaping the benefits of this exciting collaboration.

What Does the H2H Partnership Offer?

  • Transfer advantages to help honors scholars seamlessly transition to partner institutions
  • Opportunities to engage in both formal and informal events with students from partner schools
  • Tailored support to make the transition from Central Piedmont’s Honors Program into the partner institution’s honors program as smooth as possible

Each partnership is unique, but they all share a common goal: to help you succeed beyond Central Piedmont!

  • Prepping for College: The program was all about getting these future stars ready for the challenges of college-level STEM. 🎯

🎓 What’s Next:

  • Full-Time Enrollment: Many of our 12th graders will be joining Central Piedmont full-time this fall! 📚
