State Scholar awards go to 11 county seniors



The Illinois Student Assistance Commission recently recognized students in 665 high schools, including Lawrenceville High School and Red Hill High School.

Of the more than 17,340 students who were recognized as State Scholars, 11 of the students are from Lawrence County.

State Scholars at RHHS are: Logan Buchanan, Kamee Lytle, Trevor Tewell and Lydiah Weber.

At LHS, the State Scholars include: Genesis Campbell, Haley Bellville, Chloe Helderman, Kai Kocher, Elizabeth Boyd, Drevin Sanders and Abbie Vaughn.

Students are selected each year based on standardized test scores, which is a combination of ACT and SAT test scores as well as sixth semester class rank, unweighed GPA scores and class size.

Students with an Illinois Standard Test score of 31 or higher are automatically designated as State Scholars.

These students rank in about the top 10% of graduates from Illinois high schools.

The newly selected state scholars receive a congratulatory letter and a letter of certificate of achievement from ISAC.

Students may also download a badge that can be displayed on their online profiles and social media platforms. The badge can also be shared with school counselors, colleges, employers and family members.

The students awarded this year will go with the names of all the students in Illinois who have received this recognition since it began in 1958.

State Scholars are usually awarded at the ROE 12 dinner, however this year, due to COVID, they are not having the dinner for the students.
