(Shutterstock) BELLAIRE, TX — There's no greater academic honor for high school students than to become the class valedictorian. At Bellaire High School in suburban Houston this year, nine classmates are sharing the honor. The nine class of 2021 students at suburban Houston high school tied for the top grade point average at 5.0, Houston Independent School District officials have said. Alkiviades Boukas, Daniel Chen, Evie Kao, Angela Ling, Miles Mackenzie, Wenson Tsiah-Hao Tang, Christopher Zhou and Annie and Shirley Zhu all earned a 5.0 weighted GPA during their high school careers. A weighted GPA takes into account more challenging courses, like advanced placement and honors classes.
This high school has nine valedictorians — and they all earned a 5.0 GPA By Caitlin O'Kane Nine students named valedictorian at school A high school in Houston, Texas just revealed who is at the top of the Class of 2021 – and announced a whopping nine students are sharing the title of valedictorian. Each of the nine seniors have a 5.0 grade-point average. Bellaire High School Principal Michael McDonough said he started hearing that the Class of 2021 was something special during their freshman year. But having nine students all with the same, impressive GPA, shocked him. "I began to consider the idea of two to three valedictorians, but I never imagined nine," McDonough said. "These students are also involved in after-school activities and leaders in various organizations. To juggle their schoolwork and extracurriculars, then throw in a pandemic and virtual learning, and still maintain a 5.0 GPA — it is nothing short of amazing. I could not be prouder of them."
