Mason, Ohio is a very affluent suburb of Cincinnati located twenty mores north of midtown in the Queen City. Next to Indian Hill Mason is the place to be. There's money galore in that community.
Mason High School is the largest 4 year school in Ohio with 3,000 students. As one might imagine their facilities are second to none. The quality of kids attending Mason are top notch. Their sports programs are the envy of Ohio.
On Friday the administration decided their would be changes in their academic award system Beginning with the graduation class of 2020 valedictorians and salutatorians will be eliminated. In their place students will not receive recognition based on grade point averages. These awards will lump students together.
According to the superintendent of schools the reason for this lack of competition was for the mental wellness of all the student body.
If you'll allow me I'd say the parents believe their precious little children will stand a better chance of getting into a university if a great number of them are designated Magna Cum Laude(with great honors).
It's a sad situation indeed.
