HHS Announces Class of 2016 Summa, Magna, and Cum Laude Students

Harrison High School Announces Students Who Have Achieved Academic Distinctions

Congratulations to the students of the Class of 2016 whose outstanding academic achievements have earned them one of the cum laude distinctions. Six years ago, the students of Harrison High School worked with the administrators and Board of Education members to develop a system that would not only reward the school’s valedictorian and salutatorian but a tiered system of honors as determined by a student’s cumulative weighted grade-point average.

The results were three levels of distinction: Summa Cum Laude (with highest praise) for students earning a 98.00 or higher; Magna Cum Laude (with great praise) for students earning a 95.00-97.99; and Cum Laude (with praise) for students earning a 93.00-94.99.

SUMMA CUM LAUDE (98.00 or higher)
