The prestigious award, given annually by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), recognized 18,863 high school students from across the state as this year’s State Scholars. Since 1979, over 582,000 Illinois students have been honored as State Scholars.

Illinois State Scholar winners rank in the top ten percent of high school seniors from 749 different high schools across the state. Selection is based on SAT, ACT and/or Prairie State Achievement Exam scores, and/or class rank at the end of the junior year. High school guidance counselors work in conjunction with ISAC to determine the winners.

“We’re pleased to honor this year’s Illinois State Scholars,” said Eric Zarnikow, ISAC Executive Director. “Not only do they represent the best in educational excellence in Illinois, they also are key to the state’s future economic well-being. The Commission applauds their success and salutes their families and the teachers at Eureka High School on this achievement.”

While the prestigious recognition does not include a monetary award, recipients are encouraged to cite the honor on applications for college admission and scholarships in addition to completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after January 1 to determine eligibility for federal and state aid, including Illinois’ $387 million need-based Monetary Award Program (MAP).

“Each of the 15 Eureka High School students should take pride in their accomplishment and what it says about their commitment to academic attainment,” Zarnikow concluded.

EHS Marching Band at ISU Heroes Day

On Saturday, Novemebr 17, the EHS Marching Band participated in Heroes Day at ISU, and along with 30 other high school musicians, performed "Veterans Salute" at halftime with the ISU Big Red Marching Machine.

The BRMM kids were mentors to the high school students, and the kids got to experience a college Game Day, complete from marching to the stadium and whooping it up under the Main Street tunnel, playing for the tailgating crowd, and performing the service songs of all the branches of the military, honoring those in attendance who served or are currently serving.

 

Our kids enjoyed reconnecting with our alumni Evan, Caleb, Rachel, Derek, and Danielle who are in the BRMM.
