This year’s graduating class of high school seniors is the first class to do so without a valedictorian and salutatorian.
Webster Parish Schools has done away with the time honored tradition of appointing the coveted titles. Minden High School

Take away the incentive to give it the little extra effort for the better grade….SMH
Poor poor choice. Should have a Val & Sal.
Such a good idea!
This takes opinions out of it… If you make the grade, you get recognition. I disagree that it takes incentive away. It lets everyone know that if they achieve the recognition awaits. Seems fair to me. But I wasn’t Val, sal, or cum laude anything… so what do I know. What color is the second place ribbon?
Please use grammar check when writing articles!
I wasn’t a Val or a Sal but I sure tried to be. Big problem today is not wanting to single out the highest achievers. Nothing wrong with being the top student in a classroom or a school. Why do we feel like everybody has to get a trophy? Really doesn’t appear to be working very well does it?
Recognize all the smart kids, but also recognize the top two. You could do away with the titles, Val and Sal.
This is so amazingly ignorant! So thankful my son was awarded for his hard work and dedication to his school career. Hate to think what lies ahead for next generation.
Ridiculous.
Political Correctness strikes again. We wouldn’t want any of tha chirrens to feel bad because they didn’t work their respective a$$es off to be the best of the best. And “KHW”…they wouldn’t know how to use it if they wanted to. Unlike those of us who had spelling and grammar drilled into our heads and who can recognize errors by sight, the “journalists” of today at the “Press Terrible” are in too much a of a rush to get their stories printed to bother with proofreading…besides, with the epidemic of thupidity in America, few readers besides us two would probably catch the error and even fewer would bother to mention it. And since we’re in the “error-mentioning mode”, will somebody pleeeease find somebody around here who cares enough to fix the ‘weather widget” error that pops up every time I log onto this site from ANY computer??
No, master dan,we did not have recognition of just the top 2 before this. We had top ten, and it was am MHS tradition before assholes got involved. I can tell you that my son studied 100 times harder to make top ten than he would have if it would have been like this. He could have slept and made these marks.
