Valedictorian Information

Purpose: The Snohomish School District recognizes and honors students for exemplary academic achievement. The designation of Valedictorian is reserved for graduating seniors who have demonstrated the highest level of academic excellence as defined by this guidance.

Eligibility Criteria for Valedictorian:

• Grade Point Average (GPA): Students who have the highest cumulative GPA (most likely a 4.0) when identification takes place (see identification timeline).
• All classes are weighted the same in the calculation of cumulative GPA for Valedictorian determination.
• Students must be on-track to graduate when identified (i.e. not in the process of taking and/or planning to take credit recovery).

Identification Timeline of Valedictorian(s):

• Valedictorians will be identified after the last documented (transcripted) grade term prior to the end of the school year (before June).
• For most non-Running Start students, this will be first semester of their senior year.
• For most Running Start students this will be at the end of the Winter Quarter of their senior year.
• Final Semester/Quarter: For all students, second semester (or Spring Quarter for Running Start students) will not be considered in determining Valedictorian eligibility.
• Multiple Valedictorians: In cases where multiple students meet the eligibility criteria, all qualifying students will be designated as Valedictorians.
