The Cobb County School District on Tuesday announced the Class of 2022 valedictorians and salutatorians, and students from East Cobb schools had some of the highest grade-point averages in the county.
Overall, the valedictorians in the Cobb school district combined for an average GPA of about 4.7, with salutatorians just short of that threshold.
Six seniors in Cobb schools had grade-point averages above 4.8. Two of them are from Walton, valedictorian Kunling Tong (her 4.883 is tops in the county) and salutatorian Daniel Liu (4.867).
Wheeler valedictorian Maxwell Jiang has a GPA of 4.803, and the other three are from Campbell High School.
What follows are the vals and sals from the six East Cobb high schools, their grade-point averages, college choices and intended majors.
Seven of the vals and sals from East Cobb are headed to Georgia Tech, with two bound for Princeton and one each headed to UGA, Duke and Cal Tech.
Sprayberry valedictorian Keegan Ryan will be enrolling in Columbia University in a dual bachelor’s degree program with Trinity College of Dublin, Ireland. She will be studying classics, ancient history and archeology.
