Milford High School Introduces Latin Honor System
Beginning with the class of 2016, the Latin Honor System has been used to recognize three tiers of achievement in addition to the Valedictorian and Salutatorian. The top ten ranking is no longer recognized.
The Latin Honor system (Laude System) is used to acknowledge three tiers of accomplishment, namely:
GPA 3.5 to 3.7999 - Cum Laude “with honor”
GPA 3.8 to 4.1999 - Magna Cum Laude “with great honor”
GPA 4.2 and above - Summa Cum Laude “with highest honor”
All three tiers of honor recipients will be acknowledged in the graduation program, and students receiving the distinction of ‘summa cum laude’ will be named during the ceremony. Class rankings will still be made available to colleges and scholarship organizations upon request.
