According to the free dictionary:
val·e·dic·to·ri·an (vl-dk-tôr-n, -tr-)
n.
The student with the highest academic rank in a class who delivers the valedictory at graduation.
The schools calling everybody with over a 4.0 a valedictorian need a vocabulary lesson.
I do think a few students who actually did have the same GPA with the same rigor of classes could share the title. Once you get too many though, the school is better off going with the summa cum laude, magna cum laude, & cum laude system. I didn't mention that when I graduated, the class president gave the speech. Our class president was a joke of a student who was just super hot and popular. His speech reflected his attitude toward academics.
