She deserved to be the valedictorian....the school doesnt have a system in place YET about not including PEs in the GPA but it will soon I am sure. If she had the highest GPA she should be the sole owner of the title

And then they will have title and go to work like game developers AND THEY KNOW NOTHING. It's amazing how dumb could be people that finished college. I actually mean normal people.
She should forget being nice, however.
