Each semester course
is awarded one credit. The VHS grading scale is
provided in the chart at the bottom of the page. The grade point average
is determined by calculating each semester grade
for each class according to the following
guidelines: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. Multiply
each credit by the letter grade received and
divide by the total number of credits. Please
see your counselor if you are confused about
calculating your GPA.
Credit is given only once for
successful completion of a course. Students may
only repeat courses in which they have failed. The original grade remains
on the transcript. Students may repeat the
following classes more than once PE, Marching
Band, Concert Band, Vocal Music, and ROTC.
