A few area high schools, such as Mason, Monroe, and Middletown High School, no longer designate valedictorians and salutatorians but most local high schools still continue this long-standing tradition.
Some high schools honor multiple valedictorians and salutatorians if their grade point averages (GPAs) are close.
The Journal-News would like to join in recognizing these young, high achievers and congratulate them on their academic honors.
