The latest group of Illinois State Scholars was announced this week, and Saint Viator High School seniors were well represented.
Out of the 183 members of the senior class, 53 were named Illinois State Scholars by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for their outstanding academic achievement.
Each year, Illinois State Scholars represent the top 10 percent of high school seniors from 765 high schools across the state. Earning this distinction means the student has scored in the 95th percentile or above on the ACT or SAT, and ranks in the top half of the class.
While state scholar recognition does not include a monetary prize, the distinction does help students stand out in the application process, because of the work ethic and academic success it represents.
Congratulations to the Illinois State Scholars from Saint Viator’s Class of 2024:
