Seniors with scholarships or awards need to complete the scholarship reporting form before April 30th to be included in this special event. The reporting form can also be located in CANVAS (CHS Counseling - 12th graders).

Clearfield High School uses Latin Academic Honors at graduation. These academic honors are determined using the current year WSU Freshman Student Scholarship Index Chart which combines ACT score and GPA. 

• Summa Cum Laude: Presidential Scholarship Level
• Magna Cum Laude: Trustees Scholarship Level
• Cum Laude: Deans Scholarship Level OR 3.9 or above cumulative GPA

Students receiving these honors will be noted in the graduation program and have the honor printed on their diploma. One of the commencement speakers will be selected from the graduates earning Summa Cum Laude designation. Each student earning Latin Academic Honors designation will receive an academic honor medallion with a ribbon to which pins can be attached for pathway completions, cultural, club, and/or other approved organizational affiliations. 

CTE Career Pathways show students a DIRECT connection between high school courses and opportunities in various career and technical careers. Earn recognition at graduation by concentrating in or completing a pathway of your choice.
