As the Fort Worth ISD continues to celebrate all graduates of the Class of 2023, the District is especially proud of those seniors who have attained the honors of valedictorian and salutatorian.

“Vals and sals” are those students with the highest and second-highest class rank respectively. To be eligible for such recognition, the student must:

• Have completed the foundation program with the distinguished level of achievement; and
• Have completed 19 credits before the first day of the school year in which graduation requirements are completed; and
• Have continuously enrolled in the same District high school for the two school years immediately preceding graduation.
