The State Scholar Program “recognizes students attending approved high schools for outstanding academic achievement. State scholar designation provides honorary recognition with no monetary award. Approximately the top ten percent of graduates from approved high schools are announced as State Scholars each year.” This year’s scholars can be found at http://www.isac.org/students/before-college/college-career-planning/state-scholar/jersey-county.html

"These students exemplify excellence, having a tremendous work ethic and the drive necessary to earn good grades and achieve a high-ranking score on the college entrance test to qualify for this award," said Lori Hopkins, Jersey superintendent. "I would also like to extend a big thank you to our parents. Your support throughout your student’s educational career is instrumental to their success. Research shows that behind every good student are dedicated parents!"

"Jersey 100 is so grateful we have been given the opportunity to play a big part in our state scholars’ education," she continued. "Please know we are so proud of you!"
