An honors student is a person recognized for achieving high grades or high marks in their course work.
Honors students may refer to
- Students recognized for their academic achievement on lists published periodically throughout the school year, known as honor rolls, varying from school to school, and from different levels of education.
- Students enrolled in designated honors courses or honors program.
- Students who are members of the National Honor Society or other honor society.
Honors students are often recognized for their achievements. A student who has made numerous appearances on the honor roll may be awarded with some form of academic letter, or any other form of notification. A similar concept to honor rolls exists in colleges and universities in the United States, known as the Dean's List.
