Congratulations to the SENIORS - CLASS OF 2024! Each 9 weeks, each class competes in 1) Attendance, 2) Discipline, and 3) GPA. For the 2nd 9 weeks in a row, the Seniors are the winning class. They were 1st in attendance with an overall class 98.21% attendance rate, had ZERO discipline the entire 9 weeks, and carried a 3.26 overall GPA. The Juniors won the GPA race with an overall 3.35 GPA and had an impressive 97.82 overall attendance rate, but the 2 total discipline events (which is still good), cost them the chance to catch the Seniors. Something of note are the classes with the 2 highest attendance rates had the 2 highest overall GPA's (and they are taking challenging classes).
