Academic Honors List

To make the Academic Honors List students must compile a weighted average of ninety for the term. Students who compile a weighted average of at least 87 but less than 90 earn honorable mention on the Academic Honors List.

Class Rank and Graduating with Honors.

To graduate with honors students must average 90 or better each term in their junior and senior years.

Rank-in-class is used solely for internal purposes unless specifically requested by the student.

Honor Society.

The White Horse Society is a chapter of the National Honor Society. Membership in this organization is an honor granted by the faculty to selected 10th-12th grade students and is dependent upon meeting set criteria in scholarship, leadership, service and character. Students who clearly demonstrate an active interest in academic achievement and excellence, and who maintain a weighted average of 90 or above, are eligible for consideration.

Once accepted and inducted into the society, students must maintain this academic standard, qualities of character and leadership, and participation in service activities both within and outside the school community. Enrollment in honors, advanced, or accelerated courses is strongly encouraged. The chapter accepts transfer honor society members with the usual stipulation that, as members of this chapter, they must meet and maintain the standards as established by the constitution of the White Horse Society. Induction of new members occurs in the spring of each year.
