PROCESS TO SELECT VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN To be considered as a Valedictorian or Salutatorian at SHS, students must conform to the following requirements: e Complete four full years of secondary school credit (grades 9-12). These years may consist of 16

quarters which is equal to 8 semesters. e Attend SHS/GHS/THS for at least two years or more, one of which must be the complete Senior year at

SHS. Upon completion of the above requirements, a student will be considered for the position of Valedictorian and/or Salutatorian based on grade point average, ACT test score, and class load. The following formula is used to determine class ranking:

Ranking = .25(class load ÷ 140) + .25(ACT ÷ 36) + .5(GPA ÷ 4) To determine the difficulty of the classes, each class listed in this catalog has a point value preceding its name enclosed in brackets [ ]. The scale indicates points for full year classes; semester classes will be awarded half the value. This point value is based on the following scale:

CLASS LOAD POINTS AP classes 6 Concurrent enrollment and academic honors classes 5.5

Academic classes (language arts, foreign language, science, math, social studies) 5 Nonacademic classes 4 Pass/Fail classes: Aides 3 In determining class load: e No more than a 28 period high school academic summary will be considered. e No credit recovery or correspondence classes will be considered.
