KU to honor top seniors from Crawford County on Feb. 5 in Pittsburg

LAWRENCE — Students from six Kansas high schools will be honored Monday, Feb. 5, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 46 seniors from high schools in Crawford County will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 6:30 p.m. dinner and reception program in the Pittsburg State University Crimson and Gold Room, 1401 S. Broadway, Pittsburg.

The Kansas Honors Program began in 1971 and will honor its 100,000th student this year. Scholars rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior class and are selected regardless of curricula, majors, occupational plans or higher-education goals. Honorees’ names are listed below.

During the ceremony, each student will receive an American Heritage Dictionary in hardback and CD versions, presented by Heath Peterson, director of Kansas Programs for the KU Alumni Association.

Richard Lariviere, provost and executive vice chancellor, will speak to the students, their parents and guests.

Honored students will be guests of the Alumni Association and KU Endowment; parents and area alumni are welcome to attend at a cost of $9 each.

Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Nancy Hoff Scott, Pittsburg, will be the site coordinator. County coordinators are Rodney and Karen Odgers, Pittsburg.

The Kansas Honors Program is made possible through the KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk License Plate program.
