Kankakee to eliminate class ranks

KANKAKEE — Kankakee High School will not have a valedictorian or salutatorian in the spring of 2021 or every year after that.

The Kankakee school board on Monday unanimously agreed to transition to the college-style Latin laude system starting with this year’s freshmen class.

Superintendent Genevra Walters said the move enables students to schedule classes based on their interests and career paths rather than taking certain courses to achieve a higher student rank.
