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.

Famous quotes containing the words honors and/or student:
“My heart’s subdued
Even to the very quality of my lord.
I saw Othello’s visage in his mind,
And to his honors and his valiant parts
Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
