Honor Roll

Two honor rolls are maintained for the recognition of academic excellence. The "Superior Honor Roll" is achieved by earning a grade point average (GPA) of 3.75. The "Distinguished Honor Roll" indicates that a student earned a GPA of 3.2. Honor rolls will be figured each grading period. Honor rolls are figured on a straight four point scale (A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1, F-0).
