Selection of valedictorian and salutatorian will be based on high academic achievement, school involvement, and demonstrated leadership and citizenship. Full time students with an average ≥ 90% at the end of first semester of grade 12 will be selected. The academic average will include courses taken in grade 11 and 12.
Students will also be asked to defend their valedictory selection by composing an essay highlighting their involvement in extra-curricular activities and volunteer service both in and out of school.
The committee, which will include administration, guidance, grad class advisors and two teachers of grade 12, will be assembled to select two students from the applicants – one as valedictorian and the other salutatorian. The decision of the committee will be unanimous and final. Any teacher or administrator with a child in the graduation class will not be eligible to sit on this committee.
