I wanted to have a program about high school GPAs values because before I had kids in high school, I didn't know much about them. GPAs are not a secret, in fact in the student handbook called The Kiltie, grade point values are listed for the different types of classes. It can be found on the high school website.
Since this is a TAG Program, I'm going to assume that a lot of TAG kids are hardworking, inquisitive and eager to learn and want to take TAG classes. There are several different kinds of classes: Regular classes - the highest grade point available is a 4.0. Pre-AP classes - the highest grade point available is a 4.5. TAG Pre-AP classes - the highest grade point available is a 4.5. AP classes - the highest grade point available is a 5.0. TAG AP classes - the highest grade point available is a 5.0.

On January 5th three HP graduates, John Herrick, Bethanne Bradshaw and Jacques Friedman spoke about their college experience and the college application process. It was an enlightening program because of the diversity of fields of study. We got a perspective from an honor's computer science major at UT, a biology/music major at SMU and a history major at Vanderbilt. Their thoughts and advice on the college process was well received and appreciated. Please join us in 1/24 at 10 am in the 5/6 Assembly Room at MIS for our program on "How play the grade point game in high school" and "How to be successful in math".
