How have they been doing it up to this point? This is the first I've heard of there being multiple valedictorians at a school, so there must have been some system of figuring out who was truly #1.
I had just over 900 students in my senior class, and we still only had one valedictorian.
What seems strange to me is that more than 10% of a graduating class can be valedictorian, as is the case for that Ohio high school in the article. Something seems really off there. Even 21 valedictorians out of 365 students seems excessive. I don't blame colleges for questioning how that can happen and for praising the valedictorian status a little less than they have in the past.
