High School Laude Honor System Proposal
Bill Loss outlined a proposal to eliminate class rank based on GPA and replace it with an honor system that combines GPA with course selection to produce a Laude score. Laude is a Latin term that means “honor”. Laude courses will cover several departments in both the core and elective areas. It is generally considered to be a more balanced system that in recognizing the talent, effort, and success of students. The Laude system proposal will also be discussed at the Policy Review Committee and would take effect beginning with the class of 2021 if approved.
