LAWRENCE — Students from six Kansas high schools were honored Feb. 11 by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 48 seniors from high schools in Linn and Miami counties were recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a dinner and program at Louisburg High School, 202 Aquatic Drive, Louisburg.

Since 1971, the Kansas Honors Program has recognized over 125,000 scholars who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of occupational plans or higher-education goals. Each year, the KU Alumni Association and its volunteers host 36 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state and include approximately 360 high schools.

During the ceremony, each student received a Webster’s New College Dictionary and a commemorative certificate.

Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Geri Hartley and Jeff Dasenbrock serve as site coordinators and Linn and Miami County coordinators. 

The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program. The Class of 2015 scholars:
