Why does GPA matter? Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is one of the biggest factors colleges look at when reviewing applications. A strong GPA shows that you're prepared for the rigor of college-level work and have the study habits to succeed.
GPA also plays a role in scholarship opportunities and eligibility for programs like honors societies and dual enrollment. Keeping your grades up now opens more doors later - for college, career pathways, and beyond!✨
Mrs. Garcia-Herreros wears many hats - she teaches English Language Arts, Spanish, and French, and also serves as the National (Junior) Honor Society (NHS & NJHS) advisor. Students must maintain strong grades to be invited to join the National Honor Society, and Mrs. Garcia-Herreros helps guide them on that journey. Under her leadership, the NHS/NJHS Students are quick to volunteer on the HVS campus to support teachers bringing our school community even closer together. We’re so grateful for her dedication and the many ways she supports our students’ success.
