It's by all four years.
Some schools weight advanced classes to make them worth more on a GPA, so the valedictorian might not have had the highest grades on his/her report cards, but because of taking advanced classes made up the difference there.
Some schools even have a rule that you have to attend their school for the entire senior year to be considered for valedictorian.
Being valedictorian does not automatically give you a free ride to college. In Texas, you get one year of tuition at a state college/university, which comes to somewhere between $5000-$8000, so you need a lot more to cover the cost of college.

The valedictorian is the graduating Senior with the highest GPA. Each year has a separate valedictorian.
