Congratulations are in order for our SEVEN Illinois State Scholars this year! Addison Albrecht, Cora Boop, Morgan Flynn, Lynnea Groezinger, Micaela Miller (not pictured), Isaac Rife, and Evelyn Walters all received this prestigious honor. To be an IL State Scholar, students must perform well on the SAT or ACT and have a high class rank. Typically, State Scholars make up the top 10% of high school seniors in the state.
