Higher Standards, New Incentives: Justice for Valedictorians.
Doggett, Maran
NASSP Bulletin, v72 n507 p53-56 Apr 1988
Valedictorians are not always the most accomplished students because some academically gifted youth take easy courses to maintain their grade point averages, although others risk their grades by taking more challenging classes. To address this problem, Bear Creek High School (Jefferson County, Colorado) created higher academic standards and incentives for aspiring valedictorians. (MLH)
