Earned Privileges Program (EPP)
The Earned Privileges Program recognizes juniors and seniors who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, exemplary behavior, and consistent attendance. Students who qualify earn increased autonomy during designated non-instructional periods. This program replaces the former Open Campus designation.

- Seniors: 3.8 Q-GPA or higher
- Juniors: 3.95 Q-GPA or higher
Additional Academic Criteria
- No individual course grade below a C
- Compliance with all Athletic/Activity Code guidelines
- First Quarter Eligibility: Determined using the prior year’s cumulative GPA
Behavioral Expectations
- No detentions or suspensions
- Any behavioral infraction results in immediate loss of privileges.

Earned Privileges are granted during a student’s assigned Study Hall period once all requirements are met and parental permission is on file.
