Valedictorian & Salutatorian: The Student Perspective

Baylee Mullen and Megan Carr are this year's Valedictorian and Salutatorian for Eagle Point High School's 2024 graduating class. Along with a speech that each of them will present at the ceremony on June 7th at 7:30 PM, they shared a few thoughts below from a recent interview.

Baylee aimed to be a straight-A student, but she didn't know she wanted to be a Valedictorian. At the start of her junior year, she saw her name on the student list of academics and realized she had the potential to be a Valedictorian, so she went for it!

Megan is a student who focused on AP classes and preparing herself for a head start with college credits. The Salutatorian achievement came as a surprise!

"I feel proud of myself, but at the same time, I don't know what to feel because this wasn't expected. I know I need to focus on what I'm going to say and those I need to thank for the support. I want to reflect on how I got here and who helped me along the way," Megan said.

Baylee has thought about being a Valedictorian for quite some time, however, she wasn't thinking about her speech and what she is going to say to the entire 2024 class!

"My message is geared towards encouraging others to rewrite their story if they want to. You did this at EPHS, but this is your story, it's not who you are entirely; you now get to go write the next chapter of your life," Baylee said.

Over time, Valedictorian and Salutatorian have changed a bit in how they're viewed among their peers. The accomplishment is no longer idealized by the entire class body. More so, it's viewed as an accomplishment by those in the GPA race.

"There are so many areas of educational accomplishments now with CTE, SkillsUSA, State Competitions, etc. that we feel the Valedictorian and Salutatorian are equal to other student accomplishments," Megan said.

They shared that students are committed to different areas of academics and activities at EPHS. For example, in FFA, there are specific students who stand out and are leaders in their skill set. This is viewed as a major accomplishment as well. Students see how every cohort has its own level of accomplishments, achievements, and leaders.

Megan added, "I think it's important to look at students holistically and see all of their accomplishments. I know GPA is important, but it's not everything."

The humble perspective of these two student leaders concluded with this advice: "Find yourself a support system with people who want you to succeed as well. It's okay to ask for help and lean on people at times."

Congratulations ladies!

It winds up being the all-Midwestern League softball list but it may as well have been dubbed the Southern Oregon Showcase given how many local players highlighted the first-team voting
