A message from Mr. Luke Goral, High School Principal<\/strong><\/div>\n

The administration and staff of\u00a0Sheboygan\u00a0Falls High School are examining the academic performance\u00a0Laude\u00a0System. The purpose of the\u00a0LaudeSystem is to recognize students for the rigor of their academic program as well as their success in that program. This system would replace our current system of Class Rank and GPA.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Laude\u00a0Philosophy: \u00a0Laude\u00a0system allows for evaluation of a student’s academic performance independent from that of their peers. The\u00a0Laude\u00a0system is modeled after comparable systems at the college and university level. Additionally, students are assessed on their progress toward meeting\u00a0pre-established standards, rewards them for taking rigorous courses, better prepares students for the ACT, reduces the stress and negative behaviors associated with class rank (cheating, stress, schedule manipulation, etc.), and may increase chances of admission to colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Laude\u00a0System will be presented to the school board at the school board meeting on\u00a012\/21\/15. You are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
