Commencement Awards & Honors

Senior students are ranked according to their weighted GPA at the end of the fourth (4th) nine week period of the senior year for determination of honor designations. For a student to be eligible to be Valedictorian, Salutatorian, or Class Orator, the student must attend OSHS during his/her junior and senior years. Failure to meet this attendance requirement will not keep a student from being an honor graduate. 

 

The Valedictorian shall be the student graduating with the highest quality point rank; the Salutatorian shall be the one with the second highest quality point rank; and the Class Orator shall be the one with the third highest quality point rank. The three (3) top students shall be designated as graduating with Highest Honors. 

 

High honor graduates shall be those students who have earned a cumulative average of 4.0 or higher (weighted or unweighted). Students who graduate with a cumulative average of 3.67-3.9 (weighted or unweighted) shall be graduated with honors.
