Briefly in education

More than 100 juniors and seniors at Corona del Mar High School will

get the academic equivalent of a varsity letter today.

Just as students receive a letter for sports, the best and the

brightest at Corona del Mar are honored with academic letter awards.

A presentation and reception will be held for the students at 10 a.m.

in the girls’ gymnasium.

To qualify for an academic letter, students must have a 3.7 cumulative

grade-point average in the spring and be in “good standing.” Students

must also have taken at least three college preparatory classes each

semester.

Seniors who are eligible and who received a letter in their junior

year will be given additional recognition.
