Junior and senior Academic Curriculum Excellence Lettermen were recognized. Principal Mitchell Fontenot added the criteria to meet Academic Lettering requirements.
Fontenot said, “Eunice High School, in conjunction with it’s Academic Curriculum Excellence program (Academics Count at Eunice High School), offers its students the opportunity to earn a letterman jacket in academics.
“In order to qualify for an academic letter, the student must be enrolled in Eunice High School’s Academic Curriculum for Excellence.
“The student must have completed at least 5 semesters of the Academic Excellence Curriculum program (three of which must be at Eunice High) and must have earned a minimum cumulative 3.3 G.P.A. in this specific college prep curriculum.
“A student, therefore, has four opportunities to earn an academic letter before he graduates, at the end of each fall or spring semester during his/her junior or senior year. Once a student letters in academics, he/she is then required to maintain the necessary academic requirements to continue to be enrolled in the A.C.E. program.
