[quote=Anonymous]Not from the DC area, but we still have s valedictorian and salutatorian - one of each. They are introduced with a list of their accomplishments and presented with scholarship checks. They do not give speeches, though. The school has everyone write a graduation speech. The two with the best speeches get to present them. I like it because the speeches are way more interesting than the usual ones you hear that have such boring platitudes. I am on the FB page Grown and Flown Parents, and it was quite an eye opener to see how other schools calculate weighted GPA, rank students, and choose valedictorian(s). It's asinine because colleges only look at unweighted GPAs and disregard it when multiple valedictorians render the honor meaningless.[/quote]
