The Houston Independent School District will pay tribute to each high school’s valedictorian and salutatorian during its annual Scholars Banquet. 

Every spring, HISD honors the top two scholars at each of its high schools with a formal celebration of the accomplishment of finishing first or second in their class academic rankings. During the banquet, each valedictorian and salutatorian is presented with a medallion in recognition of their outstanding academic achievements. 

The 2019 Scholars Banquet will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, 2019, at the Westin Galleria Hotel (5060 West Alabama St., Houston, 77056).
