5461 - HONORARY DIPLOMAS
Upon recommendation of the Superintendent, the Board may approve the awarding of "honorary" diplomas. "Honorary" diplomas may be awarded under the following circumstances:
| A. | As an honor awarded to a community member, who is not a former graduate of the high school, for outstanding service and dedication to the school district evidenced through volunteer service, monetary contributions, or support for school athletic teams or other high school activities. | |
| B. | As a posthumous award to a student who has died and who, it can be presumed, would have, otherwise, graduated from the high school. | |
| C. | As an award in the present, or posthumously, to an outstanding administrator, faculty, or staff member who had served the high school exceptionally and honorably for twenty-five (25) years or more. | |
| D. | For other reasons judged to be appropriate by the Superintendent and approved by the Board. The Superintendent shall promulgate administrative rules to administer this policy and establish the means and methods of determining who might be recommended to the Board for the receipt of an "honorary" diploma. |
