AWARDS AND RECOGNITION: Students expend much time and energy to achieve specific goals in academics, athletics, and fine arts.  Certificates, patches, trophies, pins, and ribbons are given to students who have shown outstanding spirit and proficiency. 

Each quarter, there is special recognition for students with outstanding academic achievement.  Honor Roll (the top academic honor) and Honorable Mention (the second highest academic honor) are attainable by students in grades 4-8.  To achieve Honor Roll or Honorable Mention each quarter, students must meet the academic criteria (grade average and actual grade expectations) in designated core subjects and all non-core subjects.  Core subjects must have a grade average of 91-100% for Honor Roll and 85-90% for Honorable Mention.  Also, to be eligible for Honor Roll, every Core and Non-Core subject must have an actual grade of 75% or higher; to be eligible for Honorable Mention, every Core and Non-Core subject must have an actual grade of 70% or higher.
