​HONORS AND AWARDS

Honors  

St. Catherine of Siena is committed to the achievement of academic excellence for all members of our community. Students who have shown significant academic achievement each trimester will ​earn a position on the Honor Roll.

The Honor Roll is prepared after each report card period for Grades 3 through 8. Honor Roll recipients are recognized by the school community during the Awards Ceremony following each trimester.  

Academic Honor Roll (Grades 3-8):  

Honors = 3.0 to 3.49  

High Honors = 3.5 or above 

In order to be considered for the Honor Roll, a student's report card grades in academic subjects must be a B- or above;  all Work Habits and Behavior grades must be "S” or above  

The subjects used to calculate honors are: Religion, Math, Reading/Literature, Social Studies, ELA/Language & Science

​

School Valedictorian & Salutatorian

Each year, a Valedictorian and Salutatorian will be selected from the graduating 8th grade class. The Valedictorian will be the student with the highest overall GPA at the end of their 8th grade year, and the Salutatorian will have the second highest overall GPA. The calculation of GPA includes only academic subjects (ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, Religion).

In the event of a tie, the +/- Grading System will be accounted for. If a tie still persists, then grades from 7th grade and overall attendance will be compared. Students with persistent behavioral difficulties will not be eligible for these honors.
