Clarkston High School students Elizabeth Eastman and Xian Gu are among students who qualified for induction in the spring 2004 National Honor Roll.
The National Honor Roll recognizes high-achieving high school and middle school students.
‘Young people like our inductees, who work hard to attain academic success, deserve to be congratulated,? said Lynn Romeo, publisher of the National Honor Roll. ‘Honoring them provides motivation and encourages them to continue striving.?
The National Honor Roll offers several potential benefits. For students in the 2003-2004 school year, National Honor Roll set aside $100,000 to be shared among 100 of its qualifying inductees. All members were entitled to compete for one of these National Honor Roll Awards for Academic Achievement, which were awarded in September.
Each state governor and U.S. senator receives a complimentary copy of the National Honor Roll Commemorative Edition, along with a list of students from their state who were inducted. Complimentary copies of the book are sent to selected school libraries across the country.
The National Honor Roll contacts potentially qualifying students after reviewing information about their academic performance. Each student is asked to submit information about his/her grade point average, interests, activities and future goals.
Only students with a B average or better are eligible; 62 percent of the inductees in the spring 2004 edition averaged A- or better.
