How well a student does in school is especially important because colleges and universities will not award academic scholarships to students with less than a 3.5 grade-poiaverage.

In this area elected and appointed offices are considered, as welt as a student's role as a committee member, or possessing a degree of special responsibility. Citizenship is judged on a high standard of behavior demonstrated by the student throughout the high school years.
