Were you valedictorian or salutatorian when you graduated high school?

[Allen 1,387]

I first heard of valedictorians and salutatorians of their high school graduating classes since 2017, which I'm practically interested in students who are or became valedictorians and salutatorians (top two ranking graduates) at the point. In general, the valedictorian is a high school student or graduate of their graduating class with the highest GPA (grade point average) possible as I heard from my aunt first, and the salutatorian is a student with the second-highest GPA just behind the valedictorian. In graduation commencement ceremonies, both the salutatorian and then the valedictorian addresses their salutatory and valedictory speeches in their high school graduating classes respectively. I wonder who signed up on MLP Forums that one of you graduated high school as a valedictorian or a salutatorian? This is a unique subject to ask here.

In my speculation of this subject in Equestria, I would imagine that Twilight Sparkle attended Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns and may have graduated as a valedictorian from there, because Twilight Sparkle was said to be Princess Celestia's top student. Twilight Sparkle is worth the intelligence of studying magic. In Canterlot High School in Equestria Girls, the valedictorian or a salutatorian was not named nor mentioned.

Not really a general topic to me.

My school didn't actually do valedictorians. The closest thing they had to that was a gold tassel they gave to everyone graduating with a 3.0 GPA or higher (imo that's a little too easy to do. I think about 1/3 of my graduating class had a higher GPA than that).

I didn't attend my school's graduation, so I'm not too sure if we did valedictorians.

I was not, but I still graduated with honors. I went to a big school so there was a lot of competition. I took a total of 7 AP classes and that was on the low side compared to the students at the top

I wasn’t lol I did average in school. 
 

What was interesting is our valedictorian I’d never even seen before. I never seen him around the school or anything. I was kinda shocked when they announced him since I thought,well we all thought really, it was going to be this other girl.

No. I was a very mediocre student in high school. Add that with the fact that I was taking math back then, which I'm terrible at, I did not have the best grades.

I got my Bachelor's degree with one of the honors for that level, though.
