It is the last speaker at graduation. At the graduation there are two speakers from the student body. The salutatorian who says the opening speech and the valedictorian who says the closing speech. The valedictorian is usually chosen among the highest ranking students in the school, either by default the highest ranking graduate or elected from the top ranking graduates. The salutatorian is usually a top student as well, sometimes the second ranking graduate or the class president.
