DeKalb County School District announces Class of 2018 valedictorians and salutatorians


The DeKalb County School District (DCSD) is proud to announce, celebrate and honor the valedictorians and salutatorians for the 2017-2018 school year.

Each year, at every DCSD high school, the senior student with the highest cumulative grade point average is named as the class valedictorian. The student with the second-highest grade point average is named the salutatorian. In rare cases, when students’ grade point averages are tied, the students are named co-valedictorians or co-salutatorians.

“It is with great pride that I congratulate the valedictorians and salutatorians for the Class of 2018,” said Superintendent/CEO Dr. R. Stephen Green, adding the students named today will play a pivotal role in shaping the future.
