Downers Grove North Class of 2026 Receives High Academic Honors

District 99 celebrates 12th-grade students at Downers Grove North High School who have earned academic honors based on cumulative grade point averages after seven semesters of their high school career. For the 2025-2026 school year, 45 students earned the designation of “Distinguished Honors” by achieving a cumulative grade point average of 4.4 or higher after seven semesters of high school. In addition, 105 students earned the designation of “High Honors” with a cumulative grade point average of 4.0 or higher. And 179 students achieved “Honors” with a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 or higher. 

District 99 uses 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 graduation ceremonies, graduates will wear gold stoles, cords, and/or tassels to indicate their academic achievement.

Congratulations to the following students earning academic honors:
