Thornridge High School Do Not Feature Valedictorian Policy
District 205 schools debate valedictorian honors with Thornridge not naming a single top graduate. Thornridge honors the top 10 by weighted rank while other schools like H F and Lincoln Way use indexed or shared meanings. Administrators weigh whether broad recognition better rewards achievement and cooperation.
