Doing well enough in school to get on the honor roll is a big deal for many students, so the Oakland Unified School District held a special event Saturday at Fremont High School to recognize Latino students grades 6-12, who made the list.
About a 1,000 students gathered at the school for the ceremony.
This year marks OUSD’s 23rd Annual Latino Student Honor Roll event.
In order to get onto the honor roll, a student must earn a GPA of 3.0 or above.
