* Salutatorian: This is the official term for the second-ranking student in most high schools. They often give a speech at graduation, usually before the valedictorian.
* Second in the class: This is a less formal way of describing the student who comes in second place.
* Top 10, Top 5, etc.: Schools may also recognize students in the top 10 or top 5 of the graduating class, though they may not have specific titles for these students.
The specific term used will depend on the school's policies and traditions.
