The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) has announced the names of this year's students honored as Illinois State Scholars. Those from Morrison include Casey Beswick, Brittany Kennell, Megan Tenboer, Amanda Smith, Rachel Fedyk, Larry Gatz, and Doug Vandermyde.

The State Scholars program recognizes Illinois high school students for outstanding academic achievement. The Commission is pleased to announce that 7 Morrison High School students have been named Illinois State Scholars.

Students ranking in the top ten percent of the state's high school graduating seniors have been named State Scholars. Rankings are based on a combination of ACT test scores and class rank at the end of the junior year of high school. The designation as a State Scholar can be listed on applications for college admission and scholarships.

"These seven Morrison High School seniors, their families, and the community should be very proud of their accomplishments. It is an honor to be ranked among the top high school students in Illinois. We congratulate them and wish them the best in their future endeavors," says principal Janet Ward.

ISAC offers information to assist students and families plan, find, apply, and finance college through College Zone - the trusted source for college information - at collegezone.com or by calling a College Zone Counselor at 800-899-ISAC (4722).
