Laude

The purpose of the River Falls Laude System is to encourage and recognize graduates for completion of challenging coursework and prepare for future success.

The School District of River Falls does not recognize valedictorian or salutatorian. Instead, students will earn a certain recognition level through a point total accrued in their academic career.

Laude scores will now be calculated internally at the end of Term 3; new this year, families and students will no longer need to calculate their own scores.

Important Information:

To be considered for laude recognition, a student must have a GPA of 3.3 or higher (rounded to the nearest tenth).

Once scores are calculated, you will be notified of your laude recognition by mail. All notifications will be sent no later than Friday, May 2nd.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Kit Luedtke, RFHS Administrator, or your student’s School Counselor.
