Awright... back on track. <dusts off various pieces of paper>
Valedictorian
AP Scholar with Distinction
Westinghouse Science Talent Search Semifinalist
Bausch & Lomb Science Medalist
Several National Latin and French Exam medals
Concert Choir
Madrigal Choir
Chamber Choir
All-County Choir (I sang a lot...)
Cross-country (varsity, letter)
Indoor track (varsity, letter)
Outdoor track (varsity, letter)
We didn't have National Honor Society. 
Choir and track were good extracurriculars for me. Both activities gave me the opportunity to meet lots of other people whom I otherwise might not have met.

My HS, as well as many other private schools across the state, does not rank its students.
Did anyone else here attend a school that does not rank its students?

My HS "sort of" ranked its students. The rankings existed, and the valedictorian and salutatorian were told they were #1 and #2 respectively, but everyone else was told only their decile.

My school ranked each class. During Commencement, when they asked those in the Top Five Percent to stand up, the only person who stood up was the guy who was literally last in our class! 
We loved it!

Because those were 2 different things. It was a sort of National Honor Society but for the Top 10% of the class (which was 29 people)....then we had another "spin off" of that "club" which was only for Top 2% of the class (which was like 6 people). So yeah.

The Top Ten (people in top 10% of senior class) were invited to a special banquet at the end of the year, got special recognition at graduation, and had a separate yearbook photo.

I still say the bottom 10% should've got something too.....like longer time limits for tests or free study aids or something.
