The St. Frederick High School Honors Diploma is awarded to those students who have taken at least 14 honors courses throughout their tenure at SFHS. Honors Courses are offered in all major subject groups, beginning in the 8th grade. Advancement into honors courses is determined by teacher recommendation and students' grades from prerequisite coursework.
Advanced Placement Courses are offered for all major subject areas, including English III and IV, Calculus, Chemistry, and U.S. and World History. All AP tests are given in the spring before graduation.
In cooperation with the University of Louisiana at Monroe and Louisiana Tech University, SFHS offers several dual enrollment classes for college credit, most of which are taught on our campus. Offerings are determined annually by ULM and Tech in conjunction with SFHS. Dual Enrollment courses in the 2022-2023 school year include the following:

Dual enrollment credit is given based upon successful completion of the course, and official transcripts are obtained through the university attended.
Collegiate courses, college courses that are taken on a college campus for high school and college credit, are available to students who meet ULM’s admissions standards. Information on the Collegiate Program can be found on ULM's website. Coursework must be approved by SFHS, and paperwork is completed in the counseling office for scheduling at the university.
