What is CSF? CSF is a statewide organization whose purpose is to recognize students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement. Qualifying for
membership is on a semester basis following a point system that requires As and Bs in most difficult classes. To become a seal bearer, students must have qualified
for 4 semesters during their last 3 years of high school, including one semester in the senior year. At graduation seal bearers receive a special seal on their diploma, a
certificate, pin and gold cords to be worn at the ceremony. CSF also grants scholarships to worthy seal bearers.
