The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) has announced this year's Illinois State Scholars.
The Illinois State Scholar Program recognizes Illinois high school students for outstanding academic achievement.
Students ranking in the top ten percent of the state's high school graduating seniors have been named Illinois State Scholars.
Selection is based on ACT and/or SAT I test score results (including the Prairie State Achievement Exam) and class rank at the end of the sixth semester in high school.
While the program does not provide a monetary award, the designation as an Illinois State Scholar is an honor of high achievement and leadership.
Three seniors from Southern High School qualifying as Illinois State Scholars are left to right:
Alton Luder III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Luder, Jr. of Carman,
Sara Ford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ford of Stronghurst, and:
Megan McCollum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike McCollum of R.R. Media.
Congratulations to these fine students at Southern High School.
