Among this group are always students in each class who distinguish them-selves academically, and they are the Valedictorian and Salutatorian.

The Lebanon Democrat has partnered with a number of area businesses andlegislators to salute these outstanding men and women for their academic ac-complishment. Without their support, The 2013 Pinnacle Bank Wilson CountyValedictorian and Salutatorian Legislative Luncheon, sponsored by D.T. Mc-Call & Sons, would not be possible.
