COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – Tougher courses may count for more when it comes to determining the top graduates at Columbus High. The school board today got a look at a new policy that would use a weighted quality point average to determine the valedictorian and salutatorian. That would mean students who take advanced placement, dual credit and other advanced course would get extra points in the final rankings. To be considered for the top spots, students also must be enrolled at Columbus high in their freshman year and remain at the school through their senior year.
