Please see the revised Junior High Honor Roll for the second grading period. The first posted honor roll was not totally correct due to a problem in the computer software that calculated the grade point averages. The problem has now been corrected. The High Honor Roll list includes students with a grade point average of 3.75 or higher for the grading period. The Honor Roll includes students with a grade point average of 3.0 to 3.74. We apologize for the initial miscalculations and appreciate your patience as the situation was corrected.
