Congrat indeed. The group is all ears to learn how one can achieve a score greater than 4.0 on a 4.0 scale. As an insider to Hutch, perhaps you can share the math for everyone to understand?

I am not sure how many private schools use the same system as Hutchison, but I would suspect that St. Mary's and at least a few others do as well. I believe in a public school you can earn beyond a 4.0 by way of Honors and AP classes. An A in one of these courses is weighted more heavily than an A in the regular version of that course. Basically, the harder the course, the more you are rewarded for taking the more challenging course work. I think the increased reward is only factored in if you make an A,B, or C.

 

Some of the school's do not have "regular" courses per say. The lowest form they offer is the equivalent (or sometimes) greater than the honors courses at some of the public (and probably a few of the other private schools as well) schools. Beyond that they have Advanced Honors or AP (not all courses have an AP level) which are of course the most challenging courses.

Hershey High School?

[95GSoccer]

Maybe a typo on the middle girl.

 

There's a Hershey HS in Pennsylvannia; not Knoxville, TN.

Too funny.....yes, and no

 

Yes, she was an All-American, likely last year....from Hershey High in PA.

 

She now plays in TN @ the Univ of Tenn.

 

BigG, sorry, there is not a Kit-Kat High in Knoxville either.

so has the coaches or the writers released their all-state teams yet and if so, could someone post a the list or a link to the lists?

I looked back in my records and saw the coach's selections and the Memphis Best of Preps are announced the week before Christmas.
