Top 10s

Guide

On this subpage are every Pilgrim High School graduating class's students with the 10 highest GPAs from 1963 to the present, as long as they could be found in Pilgrim's yearbooks, the Warwick Beacon, or elsewhere. These academic top 10s are in the collapsible groups. If a year's collapsible group does not include the entire academic top 10 of the year's graduating class, that year has a line through it, like this. Some academic top 10s' collapsible groups include additional information about the students in the top 10, like the activities in which the students participated throughout high school. If a year's collapsible group includes additional information about the students in the academic top 10 of the year's graduating class, the year is colored gold. "Essayist" is what Pilgrim calls the third-ranked student in a graduating class. Any activity in which a student in one of the academic top 10s participated throughout high school is a Pilgrim activity unless stated otherwise.
