			:Interesting...though with Bob I'm not quite sure what we can trust. I guess I don't know of a way we can prove or disprove any of this though. I do know that when I went to High School, the honor roll wasn't via a sash, it was a certificate and a pin; sashes were actually reserved for the band, orchestra, theatre, and ironically enough, the special ed kids that were graduating. They were all varying colors of course and had stripes for certain positions within the band, etc. So...it's possible it wasn't a sash for Honor Roll...though I'm guessing not all High Schools are like that. I guess, in short, I don't know how creditable Bob can be...but I think it's definitely worth mentioning in the article itself. --[[User:4Macie\|4Macie]] 21:39, 3 May 2011 (PDT)

	Since I live reasonably close to Midlothian, I decided to look into getting a copy of his transcripts but unfortunately you can only get a copy of them if Chris signs something saying that we could pick them up. It's due to the "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act", unfortunately [http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html]. It looks like we might be able to get a list of his honors, but from the way it reads it also sounds like they'd contact Chris and his family to tell them that someone called to ask about his information. I'm pretty tired so I'm on a Chris level of intelligence, so can someone read this and see if I'm reading that right? Because if we could just call the school up without Chris or his parents knowing then it'd be pretty interesting.

			== Honor roll criteria ==

			"In some schools, the only requirement is a minimum GPA, so anyone with a GPA of, say, 3.5, is on the honor roll, even if every single course was a remedial course."

			Chesterfield County Public Schools uses GPA alone to determine honor roll status. From a [http://chesterfield.k12.va.us/Schools/Clover_Hill_HS/resources/handbook/handbook.pdf student handbook] (not Manchester's, though), on the bottom of page 23: "Academic Letters/Awards are given to those who achieve Honor Roll (at least a 3.0 GPA) or Distinguished Honor Roll (at least a 3.5 GPA) for a semester."

			Apparently, the star pin is an academic award, then.
