You can have more than one if they all end tied at rank #1. As I recall we had three students with perfect marks in my graduating class, so they were all named valedictorians.
OP's responses are painful to read.

I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing.
Are you serious. That's a layman's job.
Maybe some certification and understanding of electronics. I'm sure Solar City hires and train people to do that.
Maybe 60 - 70 tops!!!!!
I hated HS. I was a skinny pale kid and was constantly verbally and even sometimes physically abused by a lot of kids. I couldn't give a crap about any of them. This was in the 90s so schools weren't so clued up on bullying then and just let it all slide, even when it was happening in front of them. Basically my HS was a stereotypical HS you see in the movies. All the jocks got breaks and leniency from the teachers and ran the place while the rest of us plebs would get hammered for the smallest infringement. It did teach me a valuable lesson that life isn't fair and you have to push yourself and make it happen to succeed.
I like how these same d-bags tried to friend me on facebook, like years of abuse somehow made me like them.
Pretty similar situation.
My School was out in the suburbs.
The High School Football jocks had high social power. They wore those "carpet jackets" and made a big deal out of it. They were the one banging the chicks and getting the attention. Teachers pretended it didn't matter, but we all know people are biased.
The cheerleaders were all the cute girls who were loose with themselves and weren't really that smart. In general those jocks ended up mediocre. The cheerleaders who were smoking hot ended up ugly. Honestly some of them look like men now!!!!1
What's painful to the sociologist in me, is all the people arguing over anecdotal experiences.
Yes high school does matter. Studies have repeatedly shown this.

"And yes, theres some truth to the yearbook predictions, social scientists find. Broadly speaking, the brainy grinds and the glad-handing class officers achieve success as adults. The jocks are fitter and in better health. The outcasts and dropouts are more likely to be depressed and unemployed. The kids who drank and smoked pot under the bleachers are mostly still drinking and doping, sometimes to excess."
Who cares? If he is happy, what difference does it make?
i havent kept up with many people from HS. My friends were mostly from the top 5% of the class, most seem to be doing well enough.
just as everyone thought...
explains why you are so bitter.
The point is the person is UNDEREMPLOYED. They are the mental capacity to do much more, yet they choose a dumbed down field. I'm sure it doesn't take a near perfect SAT score and high gpa to install solar panels on roofs.
No, that isn't the point. Not by a longshot. People aren't cogs to be plugged into where someone else thinks their abilities would best suit others. People have choice and this guy apparently enjoys what he does. Is he capable of "more"? Perhaps, but I promise you, most people are but choose to "settle" for various reasons. A job is just that -- a job, not your entire life.
You do realize the Valedictorian is the highest ranked person in your graduating class. This means there is only one per year. That is why the question was asked how a school could have many.
I assume you meant that the pictures represented the Valedictorians throughout your schools history? One for each year your school has been open?

You sure have a lot of contempt for the choices other people make.
