VALEDICTORIAN & ACADEMIC MEDALISTS:
The Valedictorian(s) will be determined on the basis of the highest cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) while maintaining full-time student status. Within that group, one Gold Medalist and one Silver Medalist will be determined based on GPA and the number of Honors and AP credits (as defined in the Course Guide) earned to achieve that GPA. The student who achieve the highest GPA and the most credits in Honors and AP courses will be the Gold Medalist. the student with the second most credits in Honors and AP courses will be the Silver Medalist. In the event of a tie for the number of Honors and AP credits, standardized test scores may be used. Students should check with their counselor each year to maintain eligibility.
