- Graduation Distinctions
- In early spring, seniors will find out if they’ve met the requirements for one of our graduation distinctions. If they do, a gold tassel, gold stole, or gold cords may replace one of the standard ordered items. As long as you’ve paid for a tassel and stole, or purchased a cap and gown unit, we’ll replace the items for you and ensure you have what you need. The graduation distinctions will be based on a student’s cumulative weighted GPA at the end of seven academic semesters.
- A senior will graduate with “Honors” if their cumulative weighted GPA is between 3.4 and 3.99. This student will wear a gold tassel at graduation.
- A senior will graduate with “High Honors” if their cumulative weighted GPA is between 4.0 and 4.39. This student will wear a gold tassel and gold cords at graduation.
- A senior will graduate with “Distinguished Honors” if their cumulative weighted GPA is 4.4 and above. This student will wear a gold tassel, gold cords, and gold stole at graduation.
