All public high school students must meet minimum state graduation requirements to earn a diploma and graduate. These graduation requirements are considered the Future-Ready Course of Study (FRC) requirements and prepare students for post-secondary successÂ
Beginning in 2018-19, WCPSS designated these senior honors instead of naming a valedictorian or salutatorian:
1. Students with a 3.75-3.99 weighted grade point average receive the distinction of cum laude.
2. Students with a 4.0-4.249 weighted grade point average receive the distinction of magna cum laude.
3. Students with a 4.25 or higher weighted grade point average receive the distinction of summa cum laude.
