The school now has two valedictorians and two salutatorians as a result.

Equal awards for mediocrity.

My high school valedictorian did not have the highest GPA. There are other factors that come into play besides marks.

Seems like they were right. The grades were calculated wrong.

The white kids should have got the spot and the black kids should have been made to step down.

This is grades. Numbers. Very easy to calculate. Not racial, just numbers.

They should change the student handbook to make the awards discretionary decisions of the senior admin staff and teachers. The Q.P.A. score is a better indicator as it gives more weight to advanced placement courses.

I think I should have just taken all applied courses in highschool. I wouldn't have hit into university, but I would've gotten an award at graduation.......in Mississippi.

Disagree. If the qpa was predetermined metric to decide who wins — which it appears to be — then it’s sour grapes from the white folk.

if straight average was the predetermined metric then I’m with you.
