Valedictorian
In the United States and Canada, the title of valedictorian (an anglicized derivation from the Latin vale dicere, "to say farewell") is given to the top graduate of the graduating class (the Australia/New Zealand equivalent being dux) of an educational institution. The title comes from the valedictorian's traditional role as the last speaker at the graduation ceremony.
