CC/OT: How many HS Valedictorians is too many?
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
When I look at street takeovers comments gravitate to “common denominator”. Perhaps that is the proper angle
that would be commencement hell. 21 classmates yapping about God knows what. no one wants to hear what they have to say (other than their family members, maybe).
And now in the 3rd hour of this graduation ceremony, we have our 21st Valedictorian speech. Imagine sitting through that ceremony. No thanks!
It'd be really weird if there were only 25 people in the graduating class. The other four would really feel like losers.
This us the reason some schools systems have gone away from class rank
Jericho High School uses unweighted letter grades rather than decimal-point GPA rankings to determine valedictorian status.
what the hell is going on in this country. Previous record there was 15. New York schools what a joke .

Think the ‘cool kid’ should give the commencement address. Would be way more fun.
""I took Calculus BC, that was one of the most hardest classes I've ever taken in high school," valedictorian Harnoor Joneja told NBC."
Young man aced all of his English classes, too. Yeah, right.
Just announced.
Penn state will have 21 starters at qb.
Wrestling will have 21 starters each weight class .
Basketball. Well basketball may need help.

Imagine if they all touted the benefits of AI. what a S-show.
This all started with giving out those participation trophies.
Is it just me or does anyone else agree they all could be related?
The only other question is how many are young CCP operatives?

I did so searching and found this:
Typically, a school valedictorian delivers a speech at graduation. With 21 students sharing the title, administrators said this year’s ceremony will look different.
“The students will wear sashes that say valedictorian 2026,” Cummings told NBC New York. “We are trying to create other opportunities to celebrate this incredible accomplishment.”
School leaders also plan to place the valedictorians at the front of the graduation procession and create a video highlighting their accomplishments.
Hopefully thier tic-toc video is short.

1 high school. 21 valedictorians. How did that happen?
A Long Island high school is turning heads after naming not one, not two, but 21 valedictorians.

Thinking about this story made me realize I have no recollection of who the valedictorian was in my high school graduating class of approximately 290 students. I know it wasn't me. I never paid attention to all the "honors" bestowed upon graduation.
Ditto for me.
It would be a great sociology study to research the life outcomes of high school valedictorians and salutatorians.
If you had the grades, but weren't a gump, you didn't get in the National Honor Society.
I know of two…my class’s valedictorian ended up a stay at home mom. My cousin was also valedictorian and she ended up a stay at home mom.
My class was about 300 kids. If they had 200 valedictorians, I'm pretty sure I would have been one of them.
Ha! My cousin and her best friend were two of something like fourteen valedictorians at their high school class. This was over 40 years ago. My cousin was a stay at home mom. Her friend worked a couple years in the corporate world in France but also ended up being a stay at home mom. Pretty sure the valedictorians didn't all give speeches. I know my cousin didn't. She was a total bookworm.
My son was valedictorian and same thing with 2 others who were tied with him his senior year. The difference maker was 10th grade grades. All 3 were/are super smart and accomplished and had basically identical senior year transcripts. Real hair split to determine valedictorian. Felt bad for others as they were all really good kids, well accomplished and deserving
They didn’t have the same gpa. They had the same letter grade. Big difference at the top.
If the administration did the work, probably one student would have emerged . But it's New York where a terd can be endlessly polished. Just an attempt to also make the school look good.
According to the article, this school is ranked just outside the top 100 in the country. And at least one of the 21 is going to Princeton.
They might be doing some things right, despite the mocking from the board super-geniuses.

My only claim to fame is that I married a salutatorion from a different school. She became an outstanding occupational therapist but really messed up by marrying me.
