Valedictorian is an academic title of success used in the United States have you heard about it?
I've heard the term, but don't really know what it is (I'm not from the US originally). Can you explain a bit about it?
The chosen valedictorian is often the student with the highest ranking among their graduation class
That's a nice way of rewarding someone for their hard work. I think a valedictorian must be similar to what we call a Dux - same principle.
The term is an Anglicised derivation of the Latin "vale dicere" whiich i find really itneresting
