The committee was told MHS will stop naming valedictorian and salutatorian and will instead highlight the academic top 10% of students, changing how top academic performers are recognized.

Randy Barton told the committee that Mason High School will move away from formal valedictorian and salutatorian designations and will instead highlight the academic top 10% of students. The minutes record this as a policy change in recognition.

The change alters how the district communicates academic honors but the minutes do not record a formal policy vote or specify implementation details such as calculation method or effective date; those details were not specified in the draft minutes.
