    Determining Grade Point Average

    Weighted Grade Point Averages are determined by averaging honor points awarded for grades earned. Grades earned in Driver Education and courses taken on a pass/fail basis will not be used in computing grade point averages or rank in class.

    Honors Recognition

    Honor Roll

    At the end of each semester, Honor Roll and High Honor Roll will be computed and published.  Students achieving a 3.50 to 3.74 weighted grade point average will be listed on the Honor Roll.  Students with weighted averages of 3.75 and above will be listed on the high honor roll.

    Grades in Driver Education and pass/fail courses are not included in honor roll computations.

    Students receiving “incomplete” grades may not have their name published although they may make Honor Roll status after the incomplete is removed.  

    Graduation Honors

    Student graduation honors will be awarded based on the Cum Laude system. Graduation honors will be based upon the seventh semester cumulative grade point average. Final class standing is based upon the completion of all graduation requirements.  Cumulative grade point average at the end of six semesters will be available as soon as possible so that students may audit and verify the computation.  Seventh semester cumulative grade point average will be released as quickly as possible following the close of the seventh semester.

    The table below illustrates the Graduation Honors Recognition Program:
