I'd like to know what her GPA is and if it is within the guidelines of what the valedictorian should have, then I think it is terrible that she cannot be...Boo on that school!!!!
I think that rules are rules. Being the top students means many things. Though this student missed school for a very important reason, where does one draw the line. If she is allowed the honor dispite her attendance record, is it that much of a leap to award the honor to students who miss school for family trips or to sleep in? The rule was established before she missed the days. Some things (like mental health) are more important than acedemic awards. She should be congratulated on her success in school as well as her recovery, but she should not be the valedictorian.

Speaking as a reluctant Texan, it sounds like something that could only happen in Texas. She and her family had the right priorities and if the school wanted to set an example, they should congratulate her on taking the step to save her own life!
I agree with Bryna. The requirements to be valedictorian are good atendence, then she doesn't deserved the honor. In Clark County, attendence is linked to your GPA. If you miss a certain number of classes, you fail that class. Added to that, school is not just for book learning, it's also to prepare you for the real world. In the real world, you lose your job if you miss to many days of work, regardless of the reason. By not allowing her to have this honor, the school is sending a messege that attendence is just as important as acedemic achievement.
