How Do I Calculate My Laude Points - River Valley High School



How Do I Calculate My Laude Score?

Reminders:

❖ You must have a 3.2 cumulative G.P.A. or higher and have earned a Laude Score of at least 16 to earn a Laude Distinction. Any students with a GPA of 3.1 or less will not have honors points calculated toward a Laude Score.

❖ You must successfully pass and complete a class to receive the designated honor points.

1) Add up the number of honor points you have earned (Laude honor courses are listed on the back of this sheet).

My total honors points:

2) Multiply your total number of honor points by your cumulative G.P.A.

How will Graduation Speakers be decided?

The Class President will do one speech, with 2 at large speakers coming from the pool of students that have earned Summa Cum Laude. This pool of students will be asked if they are interested in speaking and if they agree they will be placed on a ballot and voted on by the senior class and the HS Faculty.

Can I earn Honor Points for courses I completed at another school?

Transfer students will receive honor points toward the Laude System, for Advanced Placement Courses and Project Lead the Way Courses passed and completed at their previous school. Due to the varying nature of how honors classes are designated in other schools, honors classes besides Advanced Placement and Project Lead the Way will not be granted to transfer students for honor points toward the Laude System.
