505.3 - Student Honors and Awards

The school district will provide a program that establishes honors and awards including, but not limited to, academic letters, scholarships and good citizenship awards for students to assist students in setting goals.  Students will made aware of honors and awards and the action necessary on the part of the student to achieve them. Students who have not attended an accredited public or private school for their entire high school education, will not be eligible for honors and awards.  To be eligible for honors and awards at Fairfield High School, students must meet the Fairfield High School standards for that award/honor.

Students who transfer to Fairfield High School their senior year must be enrolled long enough to establish their G.P.A. and class rank for at least one school year in order to be able to receive honors recognition at the time of graduation.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to develop the administrative regulations regarding this policy.
