So beginning with the Class of 2023 (and all future graduating classes), students will be recognized under the Latin System of honors and recognition. Aidric is in the class of 2024.
As of the class of 2023 there well be no valedictorian recognized. Instead honors under the Latin System for graduates will be:
Summa Cum Laude (With Highest Honor) = GPA of 3.9 or higher
Magna Cum Laude (With Great Honor) = GPA of 3.7 - 3.89
Cum Laude (With Honor) = GPA of 3.5 - 3.69
I wonder why they changed it. Too many smart kids? Also the GPA scales are not what I remember, but grades are now augmented or weighted by the type of class the grade is in. A, B & C grades are bumped up an extra .5 point for honors classes and an extra 1.0 point for A.P. classes.
So we have embarked on planning for the next year and the two beyond that for Aidric. Making academic plans for Aidric’s future.
It feels like this has come up so fast. I’m not ready! But ready or not here we go.
