GPA

           Students must be enrolled and attend Hudson ISD for a minimum of two years, both 11th and 12th grades, to be eligible for salutatorian or valedictorian honors. Academic honors for graduation will be determined by cumulative grade point average at the end of the fifth six weeks. The following courses will NOT be used in averaging: athletics, drivers education, cheerleading, yearbook, summer school, correspondence and local credit courses, credit by examination, and high school courses taken in middle school. In the event of a tie for any academic honor by ranking, the tie shall be broken as follows:

1.	Number of advanced level subjects taken
2.	Grade average earned in only advanced level courses.
3.	Grade average earned in only solid core academic subjects (English, math, science, social studies)

Grade Point Average Scale:
	Grade	Regular Pts.	Advanced Pts.
	A	4	5
	B	3	4
	C	2	3
	60-69	1

5 points – 100-90	3 points – 79-70	1 point – 60
4 points – 89-80	2 points – 69-60

           The valedictorian and salutatorian will be the highest and next highest-ranking eligible student in the graduating class. Eligible students whose class ranking places them in the top ten percent of their graduating class will be recognized as Honor Graduates.
