What is the Laude System?
The Laude System is a tiered system that recognizes students for the rigor of their academic program as well as their success in that program.
Tiers include:
- Summa Cum Laude
- Magna Cum Laude
- Cum Laude
Laude scores are figured by multiplying cumulative GPA by number of "Honors" or "Advanced" courses taken.
All EHS departments would have qualifying "Honors" or "Advanced" courses.
The Laude system:
- motivates students to challenge themselves academically
- gives control to students through honor point attainment rather than rankings
