High School Diplomas

• Types of Diplomas– Core 40

• Minimum graduation requirement for all students– Academic Honors

• The academic honors diploma is recommended for students wanting to pursue a rigorous, advanced course of study during their high school years.

– Must maintain a 3.0 GPA and C- or better in courses– This is highly recommended for students who want to go to a

4 year University

– Technical Honors• Focuses on Academics and Technical skills

• What is a credit?– A credit is earned by passing a course– Each class you take counts towards

graduation, so you must pass your classes in order to earn credits!

• How many credits do you need?– Core 40 Diploma – 42 Credits– Academic Honors Diploma – 47 Credits

The Basics

The Basics

• What is grade point average (GPA)?– An average of the grade points you earn in all

of the classes that you will take in high school. – Good grades = higher GPA.

• Why is your GPA important?– Determines eligibility for college,

scholarships, and AP courses and much more!

Page 5: Juniors & Seniorsnmhs.nm.k12.in.us/images/Student_Services/...18.19.pdf · Trigonometry, Honors Dual Credit 1 1 A challenging course designed to prepare students for Calculus and

• Dual College Credit– Earn both high school and college credits

simultaneously• Advanced Placement (AP) courses

– College level courses that you take while still in high school.

– Will help you develop college-level academic skills– These courses have specific prerequisites and an

application– Earn college credit for qualifying AP test scores

Weighted GPA***NEW***

North Montgomery will be moving to a weighted grades system of calculating GPA’s.

• A weighted GPA is calculated by awarding additional points to classes that are considered more challenging than the basic curriculum.

• Upperclassmen weighted classes will fall into the following tiers

Tier 2Additional Weight: +.5

Tier 3Additional Weight: +1

Cum Laude System• A tiered system that recognizes students for the rigor of their academic

program as well as their success in the program: • Suma Cum Laude- “with highest distinction”

• 4.2+ weighted GPA• Academic or Technical Honors Diploma• Complete 8 Tier 2 or 3 courses

• Magna Cum Laude- “with great distinction”• 4.1+ weighted GPA• Academic or Technical Honors Diploma• Complete 6 Tier 2 or 3 courses

• Cum Laude- “with distinction”• 4.0+ weighted GPA• Academic or Technical Honors Diploma• Complete 4 Tier 2 or 3 courses

These Honors will be determined at the end of the Senior year and students will be recognized at graduation.

What about Valedictorian and Salutatorian?

Class of 2019 and 2020:• Last classes to have class rank/Valedictorian and

Salutatorian• Val and Sal based on non-weighted GPA• New Latin recognition based on weighted GPA

This benefits everyone. Those who have been taking challenging classes will get the benefit of a weighted grade and potential cum laude recognition. Those who have been working toward Val/Sal can still achieve that honor under the system you’ve been expecting.
