GPA Opt Out for program electives
GPA Opt Out for program electives
Class of 2025 and 2026,
In order to encourage commitment and retention to a Fine Arts or Athletics program for a full four years and encourage participation in the upper level courses in these areas, students have the option to exclude from the weighted GPA calculation one credit course each year in grades 11 and 12. This allows juniors and seniors to participate in the following programs in the third and/or fourth year on a GPA exempt basis. This option is primarily for students who have a weighted GPA of 5.0 or greater. GPA’s under 5.0 will likely not benefit from the opt out.
The eligible single courses include:
Theater/Tech Theater
Dance/Drill Team
Athletic Trainer
Band
Color Guard
Athletics/Manager
Choir
Orchestra
Cheer
*Does not include ensemble or off-campus PE
To exclude a course from the weighted GPA calculation, students must have two years participation in the single program of interest in two previous school years during high school. To request a GPA exemption for the upcoming school year, students must complete the “GPA Opt Out” form AND it must be approved by a parent & counselor by April 12th at 5pm. The exemption form can be found on the student portal under the “GPA Opt Out Request” tile.
For more information including considerations regarding opting out, important dates, and steps to submission; please click this link.
All decisions are final, so please reach out to your counselor with any questions before submission.
