PROCESS TO SELECT VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN To be considered as a Valedictorian or Salutatorian at SHS, students must conform to the following requirements:

§ Complete four full years of secondary school credit (grades 9-12). These years may consist of 16 quarters which is equal to 8 semesters.

§ 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:

Ranking = .25(class load* ÷ 145) + .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:
