KU to honor 103 seniors from Leavenworth county high schools
LAWRENCE - Students from six Kansas high schools will be honored Wednesday, Sept. 21, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.
A total of 103 seniors from high schools in Leavenworth County will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 7 p.m. program and reception at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade St., Leavenworth.
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 will receive a Webster’s New College Dictionary.
David Cook, vice chancellor of the KU Edwards Campus, will speak to the students and their parents and guests.
Community volunteers collect contributions, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Kathy Meyer, of Leavenworth, is the site coordinator. Bianca Elliott, of Linwood, is the Leavenworth County coordinator.
The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program. The Class of 2017 scholars:
