• Current 11th grade CSF members should be very careful when choosing their classes for next year. Remember that your first semester senior grades (added to three previous semester memberships) determine whether you will be a seal bearer at graduation. You must take enough classes from List 2 and List 2 and continue working on those “A”s to have enough CSF points. Remember “B”s are only worth 1 CSF point, but “A”s are worth 3 points and you need 10 points to qualify!
