Valedictorian and Salutatorian
The purpose of selecting the valedictorian and salutatorian is to recognize the students who
have demonstrated the highest academic achievement. These individuals must also possess the
qualities of personal responsibility, good citizenship, sound moral and ethical values, and basic
Christian virtues that this school professes as essential to its mission. The administration and
faculty may select more than one valedictorian and/or more than one salutatorian when the
students’ academic accomplishments warrant such recognition. All academic records will be
considered in order to achieve the most equitable recognition for each graduating class.
Failures (for the Year) and Summer School
The Fisher Catholic High School faculty recommends that students in all grades make-up all
failures in summer school, if courses are available. All core classes must be made-up.
Students failing more than two courses must meet with the principal to discuss further
academic options.
Fisher Catholic High School offers summer make-up opportunities for the theology classes and
the English papers. Individual tutoring programs are not acceptable options. The other core
courses need to be taken through the public schools. Students failing to take or failing a
summer course are subject to dismissal. After a student satisfactorily completes summer school
courses, the student’s transcript will show the credit earned under a “Summer School” heading.
Failures/Total Credits – Graduation and Commencement
Ceremonies
In order to receive a diploma from William V. Fisher Catholic High School, students must earn
a minimum of 24 high school credits as prescribed in this handbook. Seniors who fail one or
more courses required for graduation will need to work directly with the administration to
determine participation in the graduation ceremony.
