Graduate of Distinction
Each year, the Graduate of Distinction program recognizes student accomplishments in five categories: academic achievement, attendance, citizenship, community service, and participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. Students can accumulate points as described on the attached rubric and must accumulate points in each of the four areas. Students meeting the criteria will be recognized at a special recognition program in May and receive the Graduate of Distinction Medal to be worn at graduation.
Applications, guidelines, and deadlines for the Graduate of Distinction Program are also available in the Guidance Office of your child’s school and on our website.
