Correction: The list of graduates with 4.0 GPAs was incorrectly reported in the original version of this story. Information was taken from the graduation program, which listed grades as of the second trimester because final trimester grades were not available, according to the school's counseling office.

This article has a lot of mistakes. There were only 17 kids who graduated with 4.0s. You should background check your articles with the NFHS counseling department before you publish articles about North.

Troy, we took our information directly from the program. The students listed all had three stars by their names, which from the key published, indicated they were graduating with the 4.0 GPA gold honor medallion. I will call North's counseling office to double check.

Troy, the counseling office gave us a corrected list. In the future, we'll get final information directly from them. Thanks for taking the time to let us know about the error.
