How to Join CSF<\/h2>\n

CSF membership must be earned one semester at a time. The CSF sign up periods are August for fall semester, and January for spring semester.<\/p>\n

Sealbearers<\/h2>\n

Each year, about 5% of California\u2019s graduating seniors are honored as CSF Sealbearers; this is also the highest academic honor awarded at WHS. Earning CSF eligibility is determined by CSF \u201cacademic points;\u201d grades of \u2018A\u2019 or \u2018B\u2019 are the only grades that earn CSF points, even in AP\/Honors classes.<\/p>\n

Students must be a CSF member for four (4)
semesters, including at least one (1) semester
as a senior. The four semesters need not be
consecutive, but must be based on grades
earned in Grades 10, 11, and 12. The two
\u201cAssociate\u201d semesters based on grade 9
grades DO NOT COUNT TOWARD SEALBEARER
status.<\/p>\n

Fall semester seniors with at least three (3)
semesters of membership are considered
\u201cProspective\u201d sealbearers. Those who qualify
for a fourth semester during Spring
Enrollment are recognized as SEALBEARERS.
However, any senior who could qualify for a
fourth semester by the end of the year (May) is
still considered a \u201cProspective.\u201d A final
Sealbearer Verification Check is circulated to
his\/her teachers in mid-May, about two weeks
before graduation. If a prospective then
qualifies, they will be recognized as a
Sealbearer during the DHS commencement
ceremony.<\/p>\n

SPECIAL GRADUATION HONORS FOR
SEALBEARERS:<\/p>\n

All sealbearers wear gold cords
and tassels and lead the class onto the field
for commencement, and are cited as
\u201cgraduating with honors\u201d when their names
are read. A gold CSF seal is embossed on the
diploma as permanent evidence of academic
excellence.<\/p>\n
