HONOR ROLL Honor students are recognized at the end of each term . High honor or general honor status may be achieved by meeting the criteria established for these designations .
The honor roll will be determined numerically using the numerical value code as shown above . High honors will be accorded students achieving a 3.6 average or better with no grade below “ B- ”. General honors will be accorded students with a 3.0 average provided they have no more than one “ C ” and no grade of C- or below . Honor status will not be conferred if there are any incomplete grades recorded which have not been made up within two weeks following the end of the marking period . Students must also carry at least four subjects per marking period .
Example :
John Doe has six courses . His grades for this term were 2 A ’ s , 1 B +, 2 B ’ s , and 1 C
2 A ’ s = 2 x 4 = |
8.0 |
Divide sum 19.3 by the number of courses ( 6 ) |
1 B + = 1 x 3.3 = |
3.3 |
|
2 B ’ s = 2 x 3 = |
6.0 |
19.3 divided by 6 = 3.2 |
1 C = 1 x 2 = |
2.0 |
Grade average = 3.2 |
Sum = |
19.3 |
This student receives honor status |
HONOR GRADUATES Students graduating with honors from Enfield High School may be classified into four categories : valedictorian , salutatorian , high honors , and honors . Honor graduate designation differs from the honor roll in that students have achieved honors in this category cumulatively over a 3 1 / 2 year period and not just 10 weeks . Selection of graduating seniors for each of the above honor categories is made on the basis of strict mathematical computation of the grade equivalent that determines each student ’ s rank in class . The grades of all courses taken from the 9 th grade through the 2 nd term of the 12 th grade are taken into consideration when determining these honor designations . The valedictorian is the graduating senior who has attained the highest rank of all seniors in the graduating class . This student has the highest cumulative grade point average throughout their 3 ½ years in high school . The salutatorian is the graduating senior who has earned the second highest rank of all students in the graduating class . This student has the second highest cumulative grade point average throughout their 3 ½ years in high school . High honors are awarded to all seniors who have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.6 or higher for their high school career . Honors are awarded to all seniors who have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher , but below 3.6 for their high school career .
NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society , a high school organization established and chartered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921 , gives recognition to outstanding students on the basis of scholarship , leadership , service , and character as exhibited in school and in the community . While the principal reserves the right to approve all activities and decisions of the chapter , the advisor is responsible for the day-to-day supervision . The faculty council , which consists of four or more members of the school faculty appointed by the principal , establishes , implements , and reviews selection and dismissal procedures .
