I got really close to graduating as valedictorian in high school.
Valedictorian is an academic title of success used  by american schools
Just in America? I had no idea.
Valedictorian is an academic title of success also used by canadians
Ohh I guess they are pretty close to us so that makes sense.
valedictorian is often the student who has the highest gpa
It definitely involves more than just that
Grade Point Average, or GPA for short
