.
Welcome to South Stokes Class of 2022 Webpage
Updated Honors Recognition for Seniors
-With the new 10 point grading scale, we will no longer have a valedictorian and salutatorian; therefore, the county has updated the Honors Recognition policy to the following standards:
Cum Laude 4.0-4.199 weighted OR 3.8 unweighted
Magna Cum Laude 4.15-4.299
Summa Cum Laude 4.25 or higher
**Those seniors qualifying as Magna and Summa Cum Laude will vote, from that pool of graduates, on our two graduation speakers.
**All levels of honor graduates will be recognized with stoles at graduation.
