It means having a lot more cash in your pocket. Being valedictorian, at least at my kids' school, means you are number one in your class. Depending on the reputation and size of the school, many colleges give a full ride academic scholarship for that.

Unless, of course, you screw it up at the last minute.

So what? It doesn't affect you... they'll ask if you have a HS diploma, they don't give a shit which one.

fresh, I think this would affect you more had you only just left the school. As it is your college career is already underway. What happens at your old school can't affect that. Once you progress to the next stage, what people will ask about is how you did in college, they really won't care about your highschool.

I know it doesn't affect me at all.
Grant me opinion, thanks.

Oh for fucks sake. You expressed concern about how this school is being viewed in the press and I offered what I hoped was some reassurance on that. Go suck on your opinions.

Aaaah. It's just close to home for fresh. Like I said before, any news out there, is big news.....

I doubt the school was big talk nationally before and after.....Don't worry fresh, there are lots of things going on in the world. The reputation of your school actually is pretty good if that is the worst of it's problems. That article is probably better press than you think. It doesn't say a word about the drop outs, junkies, gang members, weapons, killings, shootings, or regular violence. Some people swiped some literature. On the "bad press for schools" spectrum, your old school still looks stellar.
