[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this mean? DD received this endorsement on her diploma and it’s unclear how she qualified. According to MCPS, one needs 12 AL credits, a 3.0 GPA, and the minimum SSL hours. It’s not clear what’s meant by AL. She’s had 8 APs, 15 Honors, and 3 AL band. Is this a made up honor that most kids get? Something to put on her resume?[/quote] It’s a graduation honor that is only useful to help borderline students and their parents commit to a higher academic level courseload, and can be a differentiator for a non college bound student seeking a white collar job. Going to college with a transcript that shows the concrete academic components of the Certificate (and more) is more meaningful than the certificate.[/quote]
