This year, 66 students achieved the designation of “Distinguished Honors” after receiving a cumulative 4.4 or higher weighted grade point average after seven semesters in high school.
In 2018, District 99 implemented a new recognition program to honor students who excel academically. For the 2018-19 school year, 66 students achieved the designation of “Distinguished Honors” after receiving a cumulative 4.4 or higher weighted grade point average after seven semesters in high school. In addition, 447 students achieved the designation of “High Honors” or “Honors” after receiving a cumulative 4.0 or higher or 3.4 or higher weighted grade point average. Please see the lists of recipients below.
“These students have consistently achieved a very high level of academic performance throughout their high school years, which is an impressive accomplishment,” says District 99 Superintendent Dr. Hank Thiele. “Their focus on academic excellence will serve them well in all of their future endeavors.”
District 99 follows a 4.0 grade point scale. Students receive both a non-weighted and weighted GPA at the end of each grading period. If a student takes Honors or Advanced Placement classes, the student’s GPA can exceed 4.0, depending on the grades earned. At the graduation ceremonies, graduates will wear gold stoles, cords and/or tassels to indicate their level of academic achievement.
