SUMMA CUM LAUDE
GRADUATES
hacker
On May 29, 2010, Texas High School
proudly graduated 308 students who
had earned scholarship offers totaling
$11,309,044.08.
Texarkana Independent School District
honors the district’s graduating seniors
who have achieved superior academic
performance through the Cum Laude
System. Under this system, students earning
a high grade point average can place in one
of three categories at graduation: Summa
Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Cum
Laude. Students, in effect, are competing
against a pre-established academic standard
of excellence rather than against their peers. With the Cum Laude System, the District
is able to recognize all deserving students
for academic excellence upon graduation.
Texas High School recognizes as Honor
Graduates those students with weighted
grade point averages at or above specific
benchmarks. The weighted grade point
system applies a weighted factor to the
grade earned by the student in the class. Higher weighting factors are applied to
advance placement courses, dual credit
courses and pre-advanced placement
courses. Summa Cum Laude recognizes
those students with a weighted average of
155.0 or higher which is the equivalent of a
97.6 or higher average in standard courses
and an 87.4 or higher average in Pre-AP
or AP courses, or a combination of the
two. Magna Cum Laude recognizes those
students with a weighted average of 150.0
or higher which is the equivalent of a 95.9
or higher average in standard courses and
an 85.8 or higher average in Pre-AP or AP
courses, or a combination of the two. Cum
Laude graduates must maintain a weighted
average of 143.0 points which is equivalent
to an average of 90 in standard courses.
