Recently, honor roll certificates were passed out for first semester achievements. A student attending Logan can receive one of four types of certificates based on their GPA.
To receive “On a Roll” a student must have between a 2.0-2.99.
An “Honor Roll” is given to those with a 3.0-3.74.
The “Principal’s Honor Roll” is given to those with a 3.75-3.99.
Lastly, the “Superintendent’s Honor Roll” is given the students with a 4.0 or higher.
Many of us have been receiving these certificates since middle school and have grown to not really care for them. For others it’s something to strive for.
A student I spoke to, who was given “Honor Roll,” was rather embarrassed by the title instead of feeling proud she. She told me, “It makes me feel bad because all of my other friends received the Superintendent award.”
Being embarrassed by the certificates is a popular feeling among the students. Especially by those who earn the “On a Roll” award. A lot of the students I had spoken to would rather get nothing at all than get an “On a Roll” award in front of their peers.
If a student receives a “Superintendent Honor Roll” they are given the opportunity to attend a ceremony during one period of their day. This ceremony recognizes the students for their hard work and also awards ten other students for the highest GPA overall.
Something that was a bit surprising was students who I spoke to who received this award were still unsatisfied because of those ten people who were also recognized.
“I hate it,” said Ellis, a student who received the award, “You do so well and get the highest award but I still feel dumb because there is always someone who is better than you.”
