Honor Graduate Policy
The Calcasieu Parish School System honor graduate policy consists of two requirements: the cumulative grade point average and the student's strength of diploma, also called the graduation index.
Grade Point Average
The GPA used for determination of honors is calculated on a 5.0 GPA scale. Awards are as follows:
- Summa Cum Laude: 3.90-4.00+ GPA
- Magna Cum Laude: 3.70-3.89 GPA
- Cum Laude: 3.50-3.69 GPA
