Academic Honors

All students, in grades 9-12, who maintain a yearly cumulative GPA of at least 3.83 will receive an academic letter. Annual academic letter awards are based on GPA calculations from grades earned during that school year. These letters will be awarded in the fall of the following year. Students who earn an academic letter their senior year will receive their award on senior letter award night.

A student who maintains a cumulative grade point average of 3.83 or higher at the end of his/her senior year will be recognized at graduation as graduating Magna Cum Laude. Students who maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.33 but less than 3.83 will be recognized as graduating Cum Laude. Students who are striving for greater recognition of their academic abilities should pursue an Honors diploma.

A quarterly Honor Roll will be published at the end of each quarter. To qualify for the High Honor Roll, students must receive a quarter grade point average of 3.83 or higher. To qualify for the Honor Roll, students must receive a quarter grade point average of at least 3.33 but less than 3.83. Cumulative GPA shown on the transcript is based on all final course grades and is revised after each quarter's final grades are posted.

How to calculate your GPA

Specific requirements for a Honors Diploma are listed in the Registration Guide.  For specific course requirements, please consult the specific instructor. Upon course completion, the student must submit the Honors Course Verification form,  signed by the instructor, to their counselor for transcript verification for each completed course. Students who complete all the requirements for an Honors Diploma will receive special recognition at graduation and the transcript will reflect Honors Diploma. 

A student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above to be considered (juniors and seniors only), in addition to other criteria. Students who qualify for the consideration will be invited to apply in the spring of each year.
