[quote=Anonymous]So-- Washington-Lee has 178 Valedictorians. WTH? Apparently, any student with a 4.0 and higher is a 'Valedictorian'. I may be old, but for over a century there was one Valedictorian and one Salutatorian. They have the HS graduation speeches. Is this endemic of everyone gets a trophy? Everyone is a snowflake? I know there is major grade inflation in HS and colleges. This is weird. Why not just do away completely with the title? The Official definition of the term this it came into origin: "a student, typically having the highest academic achievements of the class, who delivers the valedictory at a graduation ceremony."[/quote]
