Each year, over eighth grade boys choose Prep. They do so because they are ready to challenge themselves. These students recognize the value of academic excellence, and they understand that scholarship is the foundation of lifelong success. They have diverse interests and abilities, and they look forward to building on their skills and discovering new talents.
They value loyalty and kindness, especially in their friends. And, perhaps most importantly, they believe that God is calling them to something more, to a life of special significance not just for themselves but for a world that needs their leadership and service.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source. However, this year, Creighton Prep introduced a new system. For students taking Advanced, Honors, or Advanced Placement courses, the maximum GPA score would be raised, which in turn would raise their grades.
Students taking Advanced courses get an additional 0. Students taking Honors courses get an additional 0. Additionally, students taking Advanced Placement courses would get an additional entire GPA point added to their grades, with a maximum score of a 5. But why were these changes implemented? Joe Ryberg. Talks of implementing this change have been floating around the administration for years.. Two major factors convinced Prep to finally make the jump to the new system this year; advice from college admissions counselors, and the newly hired college counselor, Mrs.
Christianne Clark, advocating for this change heavily. This lower GPA can sometimes look worse to certain colleges who are seeking students with high GPAs, even if the students are taking harder classes. However, the main reason for the implementation of the new system this year is the vocal advocacy for it by the new counselor, Mrs.
Clark convinced many of the administration who were in charge of making the decision and were on the fence on whether or not to implement the new system before to vote for the new system. However, it should be noted that this was not a solo effort by Clark, but a group effort made by the whole faculty and administration of Creighton Prep. Another factor that influenced Prep to change to the new GPA system was other schools, both in Nebraska and around the country, having similar systems.
Many Jesuit schools around the country, similar to Creighton Prep, have already instituted systems like this as well. This change to the GPA system has already resulted in a large impact to the grades of the student body. Students whose grades were in the 75 percentile or lower are seeing their grades rise, and are getting better chances of going to college. Millard South.
