Saint Viator High School

Awards
Awards are given at Saint Viator to reflect dedication in the areas of academics, athletics and
service.
In addition to the above areas in which students are recognized for achievement, all seniors are
eligible to be the recipient of the Erdmann Award. The Erdmann Award is granted annually in
memory of Christopher Erdmann, a member of the Class of 1968. His parents initiated this award to
recognize an outstanding senior who represents the values and ideals of Saint Viator High School. It
is intended to recognize a student who has taken active involvement and leadership in the
improvement of Saint Viator High School. The name of the recipient is engraved on a cup, which is
held permanently at Saint Viator High School. The student will also receive a permanent cup for
his/her possession and a check for $500 to assist with college needs.
The 1991-1992 Inter-Class Council initiated a leadership award in honor of their classmate, Andrew
Johnstone, Class of 1992, who died in June 1991. The A. J. Award goes to a senior who has shown
outstanding leadership and spirit. The senior will receive a plaque and a cash award.
Special Academic Status
A student whose academic performance is less than expected and who receives an excessive number
of grades below 77% and/or failing grades will be placed on academic watch. A student may be
placed on academic watch after any marking period. During this period, the counselor and the
teachers will provide additional support and feedback for the student. (A student who shows
continued lack of improvement or cooperation during the period of academic watch will be placed
on academic probation for the following semester.) The parent(s)/guardian(s) will receive a letter
advising of academic probation. A student on academic probation is placed in a supervised study
hall and denied early dismissal. A student who does not meet the requirements demanded during
this probation period may be denied readmission for the semester following the probationary period.
School Withdrawal
A student withdrawing from school should meet with his/her counselor. A withdrawal form must
then be obtained from the Registrar. All property owned by the school, including but not limited to
textbooks, library books, athletic equipment and school I.D. card, must be returned. The student
must secure the signature of all required personnel indicated on the withdrawal form and return the
form to the Registrar. Signatures indicate that all student obligations have been met. No official
transcripts will be released until this procedure is followed and completed.
