I don't know if this is how I'm supposed to reply to your message...hope this gets to you.

The process works like this. Any student who had straight As from beginning to finish (9-12) is considered a valedictorian. I believe last year there was about 16. All valedictorians are eligible for #1 and #2 positions, but they do have to apply for it, and they go through basically an interview process that usually involves the College and Career Counselor, the Senior counselor, a pair of teachers, a assistant principal (who also served as an ASB rep), and I think that's it. The interview is one method of determining the #1 and #2, but also curriculum and community service comes into play. While the qualifications may not be black and white, to say that the qualifications are vague is a little unfair.
