Downers Grove North Class of 2025 Receives High Academic Honors

District 99 celebrates 12th-grade students at Downers Grove North High School who have earned academic honors based on the culmination of grade point averages after seven semesters of their high school career. For the 2024-2025 school year, 44 students achieved the designation of “Distinguished Honors” after receiving a cumulative grade point average of 4.4 or higher after seven semesters of high school. In addition, 97 students achieved the designation of “High Honors” after receiving a cumulative grade point average of 4.0 and above. And 163 students achieved “Honors” after receiving a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 and above. 

District 99 follows a 4.0 grade point scale. Students receive a non-weighted and weighted GPA at the end of each grading period. If a student takes Honors or Advanced Placement classes, the student’s GPA can exceed 4.0, depending on the grades earned. At the graduation ceremonies, graduates will wear gold stoles, cords, and/or tassels to indicate their level of academic achievement.

Congratulations to the following students earning academic honors:
