Privileges Attendant Upon Honors
Academic privileges are granted to those students who are eligible for the school Honor Roll:
- Seniors who have achieved honors for the first seven consecutive semesters are awarded an honors stole at graduation.
- The valedictorian and salutatorian will be those students who have achieved, after the first seven consecutive semesters, the highest class ranking as determined by cumulative grade point average.
NOTE: The valedictorian and salutatorian of Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary are based solely upon Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary's fall and spring semester grades. Courses taken outside Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School, after school and/or during summer school do not count towards valedictory and salutatory rankings. Only students who have completed two consecutive semesters at CSHM will be eligible for consideration for the annual Top Ten Awards.
