Our Vision
Teaching the Professionals of tomorrow
SIHS recognizes and celebrates student excellence and publishes and/or publicly congratulates these high achievers.
Students who make an academic average of 85% and above (or above 3.5 GPA) at the end of each Semester are placed on the Honor Roll list.
4th year students failing only English OR Mathematics OR Religion AND one of their majors will be given remedial opportunities to recuperate prior to graduation. Only students failing 15 or less credits will qualify for this recuperation opportunity.
Any student who fails English AND/OR Mathematics, despite remedial opportunities, will NOT be allowed to participate in the graduation exercises, BUT the student may attain his/her diploma if the student is successful during the recuperation or summer classes (if offered).
The highest honors of S.I.H.S. are given to our valedictorian and salutatorian. Only persons with the highest academic honors and those of good disciplinary standards qualify as final candidates.
The highest-grade point average for the four years (in some cases transfer students with high GPA’s for 3 years may qualify as a final candidate) earns the title.
