May 2, 2023 - Downers Grove, Illinois – District 99 celebrates 12th-grade students at North High School in Downers Grove who have earned academic honors based on the culmination of grade point averages after seven semesters of their high school career. For the 2022-2023 school year, 36 students achieved the designation of “Distinguished Honors” after receiving a cumulative grade point average of 4.4 or higher after seven semesters of high school. In addition, 189 students achieved the designation of “High Honors” after receiving a cumulative grade point average of 4.0 and above. And 170 students achieved “Honors” after receiving a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 and above.
“These students have shown a very high level of academic achievement throughout their high school years,” says District 99 Superintendent Dr. Hank Thiele. “Their dedication and academic excellence will aid their future success after high school.”
District 99 follows a 4.0 grade point scale. Students receive a non-weighted and weighted GPA at the end of each grading period. If a student takes Honors or Advanced Placement classes, the student’s GPA can exceed 4.0, depending on the grades earned. At the graduation ceremonies, graduates will wear gold stoles, cords, and/or tassels to indicate their level of academic achievement.
