Edna Karr High School principal Harold Clay is using cash as a motivator for good grades… and it’s working.

According to WWL, students with a G.P.A of over 4.0 receive $100 from Mr. Clay – this year he handed out cash to 33 students.

But the 4.0 students weren’t the only ones honored, WWL reports:

The highest achievers weren’t the only winners of the day. Nearly 400 Karr students were honored for having GPA of at least 3.5. Some were even given sports style varsity jackets and patches.

“Last year I didn’t get one and I was pretty mad about It and this year I worked really hard to get it because I really wanted one” said Karr student Eyrie Toliver.
