Students in the National Honors Society must have a 91 Grade Point Average and a 3.63 weighted average (QPA) to be considered as a candidate during their junior or senior year. Once a student has been inducted he or she must maintain both minimal averages as stated above for both semesters. http://carteretcte.wordpress.com/
Academic Achievement Award
Eligibility is based on achieving a minimum 3.63 Weighted Non-Cumulative GPA (QPA) for both the spring semester of the previous year and the fall semester of the current school year.
Freshman eligibility will be based only on the fall semester.
The Weighted Non-Cumulative GPA 3.63 (QPA) is calculated each semester using all courses in which the student is enrolled.
The Weighted Non-Cumulative GPA (QPA) will be listed on all semester report cards.
The Academic Achievement ceremony will be held in late February.
Suspension (ISS or OSS) automatically eliminates a student from Academic Achievement for the eligibility period in which the suspension is received.
Grade changes are acceptable only when a teacher grading error is made and the teacher who makes the grading change notifies the committee of the change.
Incomplete (INC) or Loss of Credit (FF) is treated the same as a failing grade.
Transfer students may be eligible for the current year if the grades can be verified from an accredited institution equivalent to WCHS. Transfer grades previous to the current year will not allow for retroactive qualification for awards.
