Lower Columbia College does not designate a single valedictorian. Instead, we recognize students with the highest grade point averages and most rigorous coursework in three categories: baccalaureate, academic transfer, and professional/technical.

Scholastic Achievement Awards are LCC’s highest academic honors. Awards are presented each year at the annual Commencement ceremony. These are the only awards presented during Commencement.
