The academic letters will be awarded on a yearly basis.  Seniors will have their grade point average figured after the third quarter grades of their senior year.  Every other grade will be figured after the fourth quarter grade has been given.  In the future, if upper level classes need to be added to any of the areas, they will be added to this list.
