ROXANA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL RECOGNIZES 2023-24 ILLINOIS STATE SCHOLARS
Illinois Student Assistance Commission congratulates five Roxana Senior High School students for their exceptional academic achievement
Roxana, IL – Roxana Senior High School Principal, Jason Dandurand, is pleased to announce that five students from the Roxana Senior High School graduating class of 2023 have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state’s college access and financial aid agency, presents this important recognition of academic achievement to exceptional Illinois high school students annually. This year, more than 16,700 honorees join the other outstanding students who have been honored since the designation was first introduced in 1958.
Mr. Dandurand had nothing but wonderful things to say about these exceptional students. "On behalf of the faculty and staff at Roxana High School, I'd like to congratulate these students on this prestigious academic accolade. We are very proud of their academic achievement over the years and this honor that has been bestowed on them by ISAC. This is a culmination of their hard work and preparation in and outside the classroom."
The following Roxana Senior High School students were named 2023-24 Illinois State Scholars:
Reid Adams
Isabel Baldwin
Riley Doyle
Ava Meneses
Ty Schmidt
“On behalf of ISAC, congratulations to all of the outstanding students selected as 2023-24* Illinois State Scholars,” said ISAC Executive Director Eric Zarnikow. “Students and families faced numerous challenges over the last two years with remote learning, among other financial and personal difficulties. As we continue to recover from the pandemic, these academic achievements are a credit to the hard work and dedication of the student scholars and their families, and to the support provided by teachers, mentors, counselors, and communities in helping students meet their goals and find success as they advance on their education and career paths.”
The Illinois State Scholar designation is a non-monetary award. Each State Scholar will receive a congratulatory letter and a Certificate of Achievement from ISAC. Additionally, awardees can download an official Illinois State Scholar Program badge to display on their online profiles, social media platforms, and share with their high school counselors, colleges, employers, family members and others. *Note that the Illinois State Scholar Program announces honorees based on the year they would begin any postsecondary education, not based on the year they graduate from high school.
