Valedictorian Ethan Vallbracht

Higher Education: University of Georgia, on the Charter scholarship

Course of Study: Double major in molecular biology and statistics, with the intent of becoming a surgical neurologist

On being named Valedictorian: "It was really close. We knew it was between us two. It was so close, we thought they were going to call a co-valedictorianship. After four years, you kind of want it in the end."

What it takes to become valedictorian: "It takes a lot of support from your parents. Both of our parents are pretty supportive."

Summer plans: Relax a bit

Salutatorian Whitney Reed

Higher Education: University of Georgia, on the Charter scholarship

Course of Study: Exercise and sports science, with the intent of becoming a pediatric physical therapist

Favorite subjects:More math than science

On being named salutatorian: "The whole top of our class is really competative. It went down to the wire. We tried to play nicely. I think we were able to separate it too."

What it takes to become salutatorian: "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication."

Summer plans: Regroup before college. "It's nice to be able to step back a bit and enjoy."
