CLASS RANK

Kings High School does not report rank on student transcripts. School counselors will advocate for students applying to service academies and for students as necessary with scholarships.  If class rank is truly required for consideration, parents need to complete a Rank Release form with their child’s school counselor. 

HONOR ROLL

Students will be recognized each quarter who have achieved an excellent non-cumulative weighted GPA for that quarter. To be placed on the Honor Roll for each quarter a student must earn a grade point average of 3.50 or better.  The weighting of classes will be included in the calculation. 

Seniors will be recognized the same way at Graduation for cumulative weighted GPA.

It should be noted that CCP courses are semester courses and are not eligible to count toward the quarter Honor Roll at KHS.

The designation will be as follows: 

Summa cum laude: students who have earned a 4.0 or above

Magna cum laude: students who have earned a 3.75 to 3.99

Cum laude: students who have earned a 3.50 to 3.74

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 

Membership in the National Honor Society is based upon excellence in four areas:  Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Junior and Senior students must apply for consideration; the application is filled out in the spring of each year for the next fall’s ceremony.  To be eligible for membership, a student must earn a cumulative weighted grade point average of 3.85 after completing a minimum of 4 semesters in high school.

All candidates are reviewed by a faculty selection committee and membership decisions are made according to the guidelines set in the National Honor Society constitution.  Membership requirements then apply in terms of maintaining academic, service and character excellence.

Decisions made by the selection committee are final. If a student is not selected, a recommendation sheet will be provided indicating which areas growth is needed.

NATIONAL ART HONOR SOCIETY

The National Art Honor Society (NAHS) is a dedicated organization comprised of students who share a passion for promoting the visual arts. Through volunteerism and impactful leadership, NAHS strives to enhance communities by integrating the arts into meaningful initiatives.  Recognizing outstanding talent in the visual arts, NAHS aims to inspire students to reach higher levels of achievement and engage in art-related philanthropy.

Membership in NAHS is an honor that comes with responsibilities.  Sophomore, Junior, and Senior students who wish to join must apply for consideration during the spring of each year.  To be eligible for membership, applicants must maintain an A average in art classes and uphold a commendable B (86 or above) cumulative average in all other subjects. Beyond academic achievement, NAHS values qualities such as strength of character, a strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to contribute to the community.  All candidates are reviewed by a faculty selection committee and membership decisions are made according to the guidelines set in the National Art Honor Society constitution.

By fostering awareness of the visual arts within both the school and the broader community, NAHS serves as a catalyst for positive change through artistic expression. This organization not only recognizes talent but also nurtures a commitment to giving back, ensuring that its members are not only skilled artists but also engaged and compassionate community contributors.  Each member is required to have obtained at least 15 service hours each semester for a total of 30 for each year.  Many opportunities to earn these hours are provided through our fundraisers, art workshops, community art nights, and other community-related events.
