Did you know?
Of the students who take a gap year 77% do so between high school and college, according to the Gap Year Association. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year, but additional findings from surveys might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past, found that 98% of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96% felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84% of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73% of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57% said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.

Popular prom songs from the last 10 years Prom and music go hand-in-hand. The soundtrack to prom or any celebration sets the mood of the evening and contributes to the memories students will create on the big night. When people reminisce about their proms, the songs that topped the charts in their graduation years frequently serve as reminders of all the fun they had with friends, especially on prom night. Various organizations track the hit songs year after year, but Billboard magazine is a leader in ranking top songs on the charts. Here’s a look back at Billboard’s chart toppers that peaked during prime prom season over the last 10 years.
2020: “Rockstar” by DaBaby 2019: “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X 2018: “In My Feelings” by Drake 2017: “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee 2016: “Cheap Thrills” by Sia, featuring Sean Paul 2015: “Uptown Funk:” by Mark Ronson, featuring Bruno Mars 2014: ‘Happy” by Pharrell Williams
2013: “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke, featuring T.I. and Pharrell 2012: “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye, featuring Kimbra 2011: “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele 2010: “California Gurls” by Katy Perry, featuring Snoop Dogg Music and memories go together. It remains to be seen what the most popular 2021 prom tune will be, but it will surely be one students remember for years to come.

Valedictorians vs. Salutatorians
What’s the difference? Being named a valedictorian or salutatorian is a significant achievement. Some students may not fully understand what these titles represent. Every school has its own qualifications, but in general, valedictorians and salutatorians are those individuals who have reached the very highest levels of academic success. Valedictorian The valedictorian is the student who graduates with the highest cumulative grade point average of his or her class – the average of every year’s final grades, according to PrepScholar, a standardized testing preparation company. Grades from advanced placement classes are weighted to account for their rigor and extend extra points toward the GPA. Some schools do not award the title to the highest-ranking student. They
may ask students to apply for review and then consider various factors, including grades, level of academic program, essay submission, and even contribution to school and community life. Salutatorian Certain schools may have one salutatorian, while others may have two or more. The college guidance resource Transizion says the salutatorian is the individual ranked second in the graduating class. A salutatorian will deliver the salutation, otherwise known as the opening speech of the graduation ceremony. The valedictorian speaks later in the program. High-ranking terms In addition to valedictorian and salutatorian, students also may become familiar with other terminology, including class rank
and “cum laude” recognitions. Class rank refers to a student’s GPA in relation to other students in the same grade. Class rank may be an actual number, such as ranked 30 out of 900 students, or a percentage like the top 5% of the graduating class. Cum laude is a Latin phrase that means “with praise/honor.” Educational institutions use one of three phrases to signify academic degrees that
were awarded with honor. The phrases usually are utilized by colleges and universities. Schools have different criteria that must be met for these honors. Summa cum laude is the highest level of distinction, magna cum laude is next and that is followed by cum laude. It is a great honor to be named valedictorian or salutatorian, and it is an honor worth celebrating at graduation and beyond.
This year’s crop of valedictorians and salutatorians from left to right are: Catherine Bacon, Harper (V); Mary Cornett, FHS, (V); Joshua Hoermann, Heritage (S); Anna Gold, FHS (S); Katie Chastain, Heritage (V) and Whitney Spaeth, Harper (S).

Diploma display ideas Graduation day is one of the proudest moments in studentsÕ academic careers. Diplomas are symbolic of hours spent honing skills and working on assignments and, ultimately, success in the classroom. High school diplomas represent an opportunity to go on to higher learning or a trade, while college degrees indicate young people are ready to begin their professional lives. Many graduates are excited about the prospect of receiving their diplomas. Once in hand, the document can be put on display. The following are some unique ways to showcase diplomas at home or at work. Framing One of the classic ways to display a diploma is in a frame. Many businesses offer customized framing where the frame material and the matting can be chosen. Some grads may want to include a photograph of the school or a picture of the graduate above the diploma. Graduates also may want to select a frame and mat that coordinates with school colors. Create a shadow box Consider displaying the diploma with other mementos from school. A shadow box is a large, deep display frame that can house items that are thicker than photographs or papers. Items such as a graduation tassel, medal or other award, a varsity jacket patch, or a program from a school performance or awards cer-
emony can be placed in the shadow box. Create a photo wall Display the diploma among other framed photos from school activities. This can elicit a trip down memory lane every time the wall is viewed. Some families may want to display their diplomas together, especially if multiple family members attended the same school. Make a work of art Various online art vendors can turn the diploma into different works of art. For example, engravers can laser engrave the diploma onto a wooden plaque. Then the diploma can be displayed in one location and the wood plaque in another. Place it under glass Display the diploma beneath the glass top of a coffee table. When entertaining guests, the diploma can make for a unique conversation piece. A school diploma is worthy of recognition. There are various creative ways to display these documents that reflect the hard work and success of their recipients.
