KU to honor 79 high school seniors from three counties Sept. 19 in McPherson

LAWRENCE — Students from 15 Kansas high schools will be honored Wednesday, Sept. 19, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 79 seniors from high schools in Marion, McPherson and Rice counties will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 6:30 p.m. dinner program in the Holiday Manor Convention Center, 2211 E. Kansas Ave., McPherson.

The Kansas Honors Program began in 1971 and has honored more than 100,000 students. Scholars rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes 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 Sarah Blaney, assistant director of Kansas programs for the KU Alumni Association.

Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of admissions and scholarships, will speak to the students and 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 $13 each.

Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Mary Kornhaus, McPherson, will be the site coordinator and Lawrence Chaney, McPherson, will be county coordinator for McPherson County. Other county coordinators are Jim Christensen and Martin Tice, both of Marion, for Marion County; and Audrey Kratzer of Lyons for Rice County.
