Daisy Brammeier, Avery Eversgerd, Macey Golder, Ethan Goodin, Matthew Guthrie,
Raelyn Harris, Sophia Hoffmann, Grace Hummel, Jacie Persing, Ella Rolfingsmeyer, Lera
Schmeink, and Rhettick Steinkamp were nominated as Illinois State Scholars for the 2024-2025
school year.
The Illinois State Scholar Program publicly identifies graduating high school seniors who
have met certain requirements and have superior academic potential.
The twelve seniors were selected based on their ACT or SAT scores, the sixth-semester
grade point average, class size, and unweighted class rank.
Each student chosen as a State Scholar receives a congratulatory letter, a certificate of
achievement, and statewide recognition in the news.
