[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our high school lists all graduates who have a 4.0 and above in the graduation program.  During the ceremony, the students are asked to stand but it is super brief.  There is an award ceremony a couple of nights before graduation.  Only seniors who are receiving any type of award are invited.  The 4.0 students all go up on stage one at a time to receive a certificate.  I can't remember if they get a medal or tassel to wear.  If a student is awarded a scholarship outside of school (for example a Rotary Club scholarship), the student needs to notify the school - they will invite the outside organization to present at the award ceremony.

At graduation, two students give speeches: the class president and an honor graduate (GPA of 4.0 or above.)  The honor graduate submits a speech to the faculty/admin and faculty/admin chooses the speaker.  My DS wrote a speech, but was not chosen - the classmate who spoke had written a much better speech.  If I had been on the committee, I would have chosen the other student over my DS.[/quote]

If this is the school I think it is, the honor grad speech was eliminated, replaced by a popular vote speech.[/quote]
