HVJ Class of 2021 Class Rank / GPA / Honor Graduate CLASS RANK IS BASED SOLELY ON YOUR COMPLETE GPA and the number of students in your grade level. GPA’s CHANGE ONLY WHEN CREDIT IS AWARDED – The GPA currently showing will not change until the end of current semester. FINAL SELECTIONS: Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Honor Graduates are determined after 1 st semester of senior year. HONOR GRADUATE: Only students who have attained an overall 90 cumulative average or above (with no rounding up) will be considered for designation as Honor Graduates. AGAIN! There is no “rounding up”! A GPA of 89.975 WILL NOT QUALIFY for Honor Graduate status. WHILE WE DO NOT SHARE RANKINGS, HONOR GRAD STATUS, ETC., IT IS COMMONLY DISCUSSED AMONG THE STUDENTS DUE TO THE INFORMATION BEING AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENTS ON THEIR TRANSCRIPTS.
