Has anyone ever seen a school with more than one valedictorian? I'm just curious since everyone's so competitive these days.
Yes, it is possible for a school to have multiple valedictorians. This generally happens when two or more students have the same or very similar cumulative grade point averages (GPAs), and the school decides to recognize all of them for their academic achievements.
Each school sets its own criteria and policies for determining valedictorian(s), so the process may vary depending on the institution. Some schools might choose to select a valedictorian using additional factors, such as extracurricular involvement or community service, to differentiate between the top-performing students. Other schools might use weighted GPAs that consider the difficulty of the courses taken, rather than just raw numerical averages.
Ultimately, the decision to have multiple valedictorians is up to the individual school and its administration. The practice of recognizing multiple valedictorians has become more common in recent years, as a way to celebrate the achievements of students who have excelled academically throughout their high school careers.
