Do You Want To Be Valedictorian?
As in years past, this year's graduating class will have a valedictorian (and possibly a salutatorian as well). However, we'd like to try something a bit different this spring, by asking interested seniors to submit a brief in-character essay (up to 3 paragraphs) on why they should be considered for the job, instead of a list of classes and clubs.
The method of choosing the top essay(s) is dependent on the amount of interest, but ideally we're hoping to recruit the teaching staff to vote on it, to give things a realistic flavor. Kind of like radio voting on a more specialized scale.
Keep in mind that the valedictorian will be expected to make a speech at graduation. All essays need to be submitted as a screened comment here by next Sunday, April 26th, so that there'll be plenty of time for figuring things out before graduation. If you have any questions, leave them here as well, and they'll be unscreened!
