Academic excellence is expected in all classes. A daily effort in each subject will ensure each student good scholarship and academic success. Parents/Guardians are requested to encourage their children to excel.
Students who achieve a 3.5 grade point average or higher will be designated on the Principal's list. Students who achieve a grade point average between 3.0 and 3.49 will be placed on the Honor Roll. Students with all “A”s during a grading period and a Citizenship grade of a “B” or above will receive special recognition. Students who earn below a “C” in Citizenship will not be considered eligible for the Principal’s List or Honor Roll. All students are therefore encouraged to always display appropriate and wholesome behavior. Any student with a “D” average or below in Citizenship will not be considered for the Principal’s List or Honor Roll.
