We want to make you aware of an update to Prosper ISD’s GPA and class rank policy, adopted in June 2025. While GPA calculations and class rank procedures will remain the same for your student’s graduating class, the following changes will apply to students in the Class of 2029:

To be eligible for valedictorian or salutatorian, a student must be continuously enrolled in Prosper ISD for all four years of high school and must graduate after exactly eight semesters of enrollment.

We’re looking for caring, committed adults to serve as mentors to Prosper ISD students. You don’t need to be a counselor or expert—just someone willing to listen, encourage, and show up consistently. Mentors meet with students on campus during the school day in a structured, supportive environment.

As a mentor, you’ll help students feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow into the confident, resilient leaders of tomorrow. We provide all the training and tools—you bring your time and heart.

Volunteer mentors will:

Your presence could be the difference that helps a student thrive.
