KU to honor 239 seniors from Johnson County high schools Oct. 25

More Information

LAWRENCE — Students from 11 Kansas high schools will be honored Monday, Oct. 25, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 239 seniors from high schools in Johnson County will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 7 p.m. program and reception at Blue Valley Northwest High School, 13260 Switzer Road, Overland Park.

The Kansas Honors Program celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Since 1971, the program has recognized 114,000 scholars, who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of occupational plans or higher-education goals. Each year, the KU Alumni Association and its volunteers host 41 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state.

During the ceremony, each student will receive an American Heritage Dictionary, in both hardback and electronic versions, presented by Joy Maxwell, assistant director of Kansas City programs for the KU Alumni Association. Provost Jeffrey Vitter will speak to the students and their parents and guests.

Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Anne and Bill Blessing, of Leawood, are the site and county coordinators.

The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program.
