37% of Student Body Named to Honor Roll
68 Students Maintained a 4.0 or Higher GPA for Two Consecutive Semesters
Chicago Heights, IL-(ENEWSPF)- Marian Catholic High School is proud to announce that 37% of its student body — 300 students — have been named to the First Quarter Honor Roll of the 2022-2023 school year for earning a GPA of 3.2 or higher, while 68 sophomores, juniors and seniors have maintained a 4.0 or higher GPA for two consecutive semesters.
“It’s not easy to earn a high GPA at Marian Catholic, and we know these students spend hours and hours studying and making sure they’re prepared for whatever is needed to be successful in their classes,” said Principal Steve Tortorello. “Many also are involved in other activities outside of school and have jobs, which makes earning these grades even more challenging for them. We want these students to know that we see them and are proud of them.”
