Honors Diploma: Nolan Catholic requires three consecutive years of study within the same foreign language for an honors diploma. Foreign Language credits earned in the eighth grade do qualify as one of three years of study for an Honors diploma. In addition, Foreign Language courses, at the third year level and beyond, are considered Honors Courses.

Nolan Catholic strongly recommends that students take a minimum of three years of Foreign Language in preparation for college.
