GORHAM — Each year, seniors are recognized for their academic achievement during their high school career by earning a “gold tassel” to wear at graduation.
Seniors who have earned an overall weighted GPA of 90 or above cumulatively at the end of the third quarter and receive no grade lower than an 85 (weighted grade) on fourth quarter progress reports of that graduating year will be considered “gold tassel potential recipients.”
