Central Catholic also transitioned to a Latin honors system, recognizing students who earned Summa Cum Laude (4.0 GPA or higher), Magna Cum Laude (3.8 GPA or higher), or Cum Laude (3.6 GPA or higher). Under the new system, there were 8 students who earned Summa Cum Laude, 10 who earned Magna Cum Laude, and 8 who earned Cum Laude.
Additionally, as there was not a valedictorian or salutatorian, the members of the class instead chose two of their classmates to speak at commencement. The class chose Owen Adler and Maria Vawter to speak.

Congratulations to the Class of 2022!
