Valedictorian is the academic title conferred upon the highest ranked student among those graduating from an educational institution, typically based upon the highest grade point average. Salutatorian is the academic title conferred upon the second highest ranking student in the class. Named as such because at the commencement ceremony the salutatorian delivered the salutation (greeting) while the valedictorian delivered the valediction (farewell).
The Alpharetta High School Class of 2023 Valedictorian & Salutatorian are Samay Desai (Left) & Leo Guan (Right)!
