Around this time each year, hundreds of seniors from multiple high schools in the area prepare for graduation: the culmination of years of studying and testing. From these groups of seniors, an even smaller number are given the prestigious title of valedictorian as recognition for being the very best academically among their classmates. There is typically only one person chosen for each school, but that convention has been thrown on its head by Pitman High’s Class of 2017, which managed to produce not one but three valedictorians with overall GPAs of 4.54 — Daniel Dwight, Ashlynne Smith and Dylan Folkner.
