Laude Honors System
About the Laude Honors System
|
Beginning with the class of 2022, the Laude System was implemented at Kaukauna High School. The class of 2023 will be recognized with the Laude System and class rank, continuing to name a valedictorian and salutatorian. Starting with the class of 2024, the class rank will no longer be used, and the only designation used at graduation will be Laude Honors. The Laude System allows us to recognize and encourage students to take appropriate courses to better prepare them for the future. Students must earn at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA by the end of the second trimester of their senior year or after 11 trimesters to qualify for honors. While classes taken during the third trimester will count towards earning Laude status, any changes to the grade point average after the 11th trimester will not count toward Laude calculation. Additionally, we will not round any cumulative grade point average to meet the 3.50 minimum GPA requirement. Students who have earned honors designations in two departments are eligible to be recognized as Cum Laude, or honors. Students who have earned honors designations in three departments are eligible to be recognized as Magna Cum Laude, or high honors. Students who have earned honors designations in four or more departments will be eligible to be recognized as Summa Cum Laude, or highest honors.
Transfer students may be eligible for department honors and Laude Honors if they have met similar course requirements at their previous school or schools and have maintained their overall 3.5 cumulative grade point average. Students can apply for Laude points for classes they take as Independent Studies, courses through Wisconsin Virtual School, and courses completed as part of the Early College Credit Program using the Laude Request form. |
