Prior to each June graduation a valedictorian and salutatorian will be designated from members of the current senior class. Selection will be made in accordance with the following rules and procedures:
- All subjects marked numerically will be used to determine class rank.
- Only final grades will be used in the computation of class rank. The final grade ranking will be based upon all high school credit bearing courses completed prior to the spring semester of the senior year. The midyear average of a full year senior course will be treated as a full year calculation.
- A full year course is assigned a value of one (1.0) unit of credit; one semester courses are assigned a value of one-half (.5) a unit of credit.
- Those students completing Advanced Placement courses, accelerated, enriched and college level courses will receive an additional ten percent (10%) weighting for grades received in those courses.
- Seniors who are selected as valedictorian (highest grade point average) and salutatorian (second highest grade point average) will be recognized at commencement.
- Only seniors who graduate from and who have been in attendance at Chenango Valley High School for a minimum of three consecutive semesters, which must include a semester of junior year and their first semester senior year, will qualify for consideration as valedictorian or salutatorian.
