Unlike the traditional honor roll system, which is based upon a single grading period, this letter system will be based upon the students' cumulative high school record. Another unique feature of this system is that it "weighs” certain classes at John Glenn as being more difficult than others and points are awarded accordingly. For regular classes, a semester grade of an "A” is worth two points and a "B” is worth one point. For most college preparatory classes, a semester grade of an "A” is worth four points and a 1 ”B” is worth two points. No 1 points are awarded for grades lower than a "B”. Sophomores will be awarded a letter if they accumulate at least 30
