WHAT IS A CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)?
A cumulative grade point average is an average of a student’s 1st and 2nd semester grades.  When calculating a grade point average (GPA), each letter is worth a certain amount of points:

A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C = 2 points
D = 1 point
F = 0 points

When you are calculating the GPA, simply give each grade a numerical value, add the points together and divide the total by the number of grades.

HOW IS THE CUMULATIVE GPA CALCULATED?
To calculate the cumulative GPA, add the GPA from the 1st semester and 2nd semester and divide the total by 2.

Example:  1st Semester GPA = 2.5 + 2nd Semester GPA = 3.2 = 5.7 

Total:   5.7 / 2 = 2.85 = Cumulative GPA

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Eligibility for high school sports and extracurricular activities, as a freshman, is based on the second semester grades from middle school.  By board policy, students must have a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in order to compete.  If not attained, the student may be placed on probation until they receive the first progress report during their freshman year.
