Some people love high school and others hate it. Regardless of one’s personal stance, there’s no denying how beneficial it is to have a high school education.Among the many things learned there, both socially and from an academic point of view, is the fact that dedication and hard work pay off. High school can do a lot in the way of teaching the value of success. Of course, there’s more to happiness than simply achieving greatness in life, but nobody would ever argue that having the drive and educational background to succeed is a bad thing. One of the greatest achievements one can accomplish in a high school career is to be named valedictorian.

To achieve that, though, one has to maintain a 3.9-4.0 GPA.

To achieve that, though, one has to maintain a 3.9-4.0 GPA. Most of us were guilty of taking a “year off” in high school. Whether that was in our first year, when we were trying to adjust to a bigger workload, in our third year, when the social side of schooling became too much of a distraction, or in our last year, when the mounting pressure became too much and quitting at the last hurdle just seemed easier.

But if you want to be named valedictorian, you can’t even take a day off learning, not unless you want to risk your grades sliding.
You’d imagine, therefore, that only the kids that have the privilege of growing up in a stable household have the opportunity to be awarded this prestigious title.

But Griffin Furlong is one valedictorian putting an end to that stereotype.
