Academic Lettering
Academic Lettering Awards are given to students who demonstrate excellence in the classroom at Lakeville South High School. Students who qualify for an Academic Letter will receive a Certificate of Lettering.
Academic Lettering Criteria
To qualify, students must earn a 3.7 GPA or higher for two consecutive semesters.
When to Apply
- Freshman year letter → Apply in the fall of sophomore year
- Sophomore year letter → Apply in the fall of junior year
- Junior year letter → Apply in the fall of senior year
Senior Option
Seniors do not apply at the end of the year. However, students may still earn a letter if they meet the following:
- Semester 2 (junior year) + Semester 1 (senior year) with a 3.7 GPA
This qualifies as a Senior Academic Letter.
How to Apply for an Academic Letter
Students must complete the application form while logged into their district-issued Gmail account:
- Select the school year that matches your two qualifying semesters
- All GPA qualifications will be verified
If awarded an Academic Letter, students can typically pick up their Certificate of Lettering within two weeks.

Letter Jacket & Patch Information
If this is your first time lettering (academically or in an activity/sport at South), you may purchase a chenille “L” patch for $5 from the Activities Office (located in the Admin Office), while supplies last.
Additional lettering items (bars, pins, numbers, etc.) may be purchased through local embroidery or letter jacket retailers.
