Announcements
Second FAFSA and family financial aid night
This meeting will be a repeat of the September meeting for families who did not make it to the first one. This meeting will be Wednesday Nov. 13th, at 6:30 PM. The meeting will be held in the FC auditorium.
Latin Honors Replaces Class Rank
As previously released FC is happy to announce that beginning with the Class of 2025 students will receive a special designation upon graduation based upon g.p.a. In order to recognize and congratulate the increasing number of high achievers in Franklin Township the individual class rank system will be replaced with the collegiate honors recognition system.
The Latin word "laude" means "praise, honor, or distinction" and the three categories below will be recognized at graduation. Although we will not be ranking students individually, we will still recognize the valedictorian(s) and salutatorian(s) at commencement.
G.P.A.s 3.5 to 3.75 Cum Laude (with honor)
G.P.A.s 3.76 to 4.0 Magna Cum Laude (with great honor)
G.P.A.s 4.01 and above Summa Cum Laude (with highest honor)
FC Honors diploma says "so long" beginning with the Class of 2027.
In an attempt to more closely align our high achieving expectations with the Indiana Dept. of Education and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, FC will no longer offer the locally recognized FC Honors diploma. We have already begun the process, however, for utilizing the state recognized Indiana College Core credential which promotes the acquisition of dual/AP credits and creates more value for students.
