Valedictorian & Salutatorian Criteria
Valedictorian & Salutatorian Criteria
A student must do the last four (4) semesters of work at Henryetta High School to be eligible for the top two (2) honor places for speaking at the graduation. A student may transfer in the 9th and 10th years of work. Grades made by the student must be equal to the five (5) places and suitable to translate in the grades of A, B, C, D and F for the student to be counted as a valedictorian or salutatorian candidate. If the grades are S or U or some variation of the grading scale, the student will not be considered for valedictorian or salutatorian. The student must meet requirements for a four (4) year college to be eligible for valedictorian and salutatorian. Valedictorians/Salutatorians must be enrolled in at least four classes taught by Henryetta, OSUIT, OSSM, or GCTC instructors, per year (virtual classes do NOT count as one of the four classes).
Those students that meet the grade point to be Valedictorian and/or Salutatorian, but do not meet the consecutive semester requirement, will receive the honor but will not be allowed to speak at graduation. In case of a tie for either valedictorian or salutatorian, all students tying will be named co-valedictorian or salutatorian. Multiple valedictorians will not prevent the selection of salutatorian.
Any changes or additions to these rules are in force for the present school year. Valedictorian and salutatorian will be determined on the basis of seven (7) semesters of work.
GPA – 4.20 and above
Valedictorian honors shall be bestowed to the student(s) with a 4.20 Grade Point Average or above, with the highest grade point average based on semester grades for high school credit earned from the ninth grade through the third (3rd) nine week sof the student)s_ twelfth (12th) grade year
The top two GPA’s, figured to the thousandth, will speak at graduation.
Salutatorian CriteriaGPA – 4.0 – 4.199
Salutatorian honors will be awarded to the student(s) with a Grade Point Average of 4.0 and less than a 4.2
In the event no student(s) attain a 4.2 GPA., the following criteria will be used. The highest-grade point below a 4.2 GPA. will be awarded valedictorian honors. For example, if the highest GPA. among graduating seniors is 4.149, the grade point will be rounded to the nearest hundredths, i.e. 4.15; and that student, or students, will receive valedictorian honors. In such event, student(s) with a GPA between 4.0 and the GPA of the valedictorian(s) will be awarded salutatorian honors.
Honors classes will be based on a five (5) point scale and non-honors classes will be based on a four (4) point scale when calculating the GPA. Oklahoma School of Math and Science (O.S.S.M.) will be based on a five.five (5.5) point scale.
