High school valedictorian only matters during the graduation ceremony and getting into the college of your choice, for which your grades alone will suffice anyway. You said it yourself; there are more important things.
Competing with yourself and challenging yourself are great, but something always stuck me as lame and point;essly competitive about the whole "winning" school angle of this supposed honor. Let's give the overachievers some more pressure, since they already put all kinds of pressure on themselves to begin with! Yay!
