COMING SUNDAY
The Times Free Press’ annual Valedictorian Salute runs on Sunday, May 29, in the Life section. The issue lists the name, college and major of valedictorians from 73 high schools in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
This Sunday, our paper will trot out its annual valedictorian honor roll in the Life section.
It’s one of my favorite traditions of the Times Free Press.
It’s cool, because universally, all of us who graduated high school can understand and respect the effort it takes over four years to graduate first or second in your class. And how many things can pass from generation to generation with this much clarity?
Plus, it’s one of the most public and respected ways we honor academic achievement among students.
