Sacred Heart Scholars is a group engendered by the school primarily to recognize and honor freshmen and sophomore students who have achieved superior academic performance. Additionally, "The Scholars" will provide opportunities for students to enrich their academic experiences and explore their interests. Eligibility To be invited to join Sacred Heart Scholars, freshmen or sophomore students must have achieved a GPA of 3.5 or higher for the first two semesters of the year. Additionally, no grade must be lower than a C+. Comments regarding the "unsatisfactory conduct" of the student by two or more different teachers in the same marking period will deem a student ineligible. Members are expected to abide by all the rules and regulations of the Student Handbook. Dismissal Procedures If a member's GPA falls below 3.5 or if the student receives a grade below a C+ in any class for a term, the Moderator will issue a written warning and place the student on probation. The student will have one term to restore academic standards. Failure to do so will result in dismissal. A student can only be on probation twice before dismissal. These probations cannot be for consecutive terms. Any students who resigns or is dismissed from "The Scholars" forfeits any future eligibility. Failure to abide by the rules and regulations of the Student Handbook is cause for dismissal.
