Principal's List Pin
The design
On the pin
A navy shield edged in gold tone. PRINCIPAL'S runs across the top, a gold star sits in a white medallion in the center, and LIST is set on the banner across the point.
What it means
In many schools the principal's list sits one step above the honor roll, for students with the highest grades. The shield makes it look more formal than an honor roll star, so students can tell the two awards apart at a glance.
Colors and finish
Navy and gold match the formal shape. A gold-tone finish and a single star keep it understated; a rhinestone in place of the star adds $0.30 per pin.

Occasions
When to order
Like the honor roll, the list is announced each grading period, so a single order in the summer covers the whole year.
Who orders it
Schools with a tiered academic honors system. Pair it with the Honor Roll Star Pin so the two levels match.
