Nearly 2,000 students from Coeur d’Alene High School, Lake City High School, and Venture Academy earned honor roll recognition for strong academic performance during the first semester of the school year.
Honor Roll Students by year:
Students were recognized in three categories based on weighted grade point average: Highest Honors (4.00–5.00 GPA), High Honors (3.50–3.99 GPA), and Honors (3.00–3.49 GPA).
Across all three schools, 490 students earned Highest Honors, achieving a GPA of 4.00 or higher. Another 804 students earned High Honors, while 648 students earned honors for maintaining a GPA between 3.00 and 3.49.
“These outstanding grades reflect the dedication our students bring to their learning every day,” said Deputy Superintendent of Instruction Dr. Mike Nelson. “Their success is supported by outstanding teachers, engaged families, and school communities that value academic growth and achievement.”
Together, these students reflect the strong culture of academic excellence across Coeur d’Alene Public Schools.
Victoria Beecher, principal of Coeur d’Alene High School, said 974 students met the challenge of rigorous coursework and succeeded in making the honor roll.
“Our students definitely rose to the challenge, and the grade book captures countless hours studying and preparing for exams,” Beecher said. “I am so proud of every student on the honor roll.”
Bryan Kelly, principal of Lake City High School, credited the school’s supportive culture for 875 students making the honor roll.
“We are always lifting each other up,” Kelly said. “Teachers, staff, and students working together is a dynamic and powerful thing. The honor roll is just a small part of what we’re doing at Lake City.”
Venture Academy Principal Teresa Kennedy said the 93 students on the honor roll are succeeding through online learning programs and other educational approaches.
“Our students have diverse backgrounds and often need non-traditional methods,” Kennedy said. “We understand each student is different, but they all need our support.”
