Preferred term

valedictorians  

Definition

  • Most U.S. and Canadian high schools recognize the graduating student who holds the highest academic standing with the title of valedictorian. Although the naming of a valedictorian is one of the most common markers of achievement in the United States, top academic standing is largely absent from the gifted literature.
