“A” Team
Academic awards are issued to students who earn “A’s” in all classes for their semester grades. The first semester that a student receives straight “A’s”, and is then known as a member of the “A Team”, he or she will receive an Academic Achievement Certificate. Each semester the student receives straight “A’s” he/she will receive a certificate.
After being a member of the “A Team” for three semesters, a student is awarded an “A Team” letter. This is a white “N” exactly like those awarded in the athletic area, with the “A Team” recognition printed on it. Membership in this select group can only be attained through high achievement in the academic area. It cannot be given to anyone; it has to be earned.

Math League
