My neice was a valedictorian in a southern state. When we attended her graduation, we were shocked that she was never mentioned by name, nor did she give a speech. When I asked my sister about this, she shrugged and basically said that the non-academic culture was too big to fight. Neice is attending a top LAC and doing very well there. The “stars” of her school are fighting to find jobs locally.
