Rockridge High School Principal Katy Hasson is pleased to announce that nine students from the RHS graduating class of 2024 have been designated as Illinois State Scholars.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state’s college access and financial aid agency, presents this prestigious recognition of academic achievement to exceptional Illinois high school students annually. This year, more than 16,700 honorees join the other outstanding students who have been honored since the designation was first introduced in 1958.
The following Rockridge High School Class of 2024 Seniors were named Illinois State Scholars, pictured from left to right: London Keisel, Emma Ill, Makynzii Murley, Brinley Dunnett, Holly Fuhr, Ella Mayerhofer, Colin Huntley, Alex Zarlatanes, & Cullen Daly.
“On behalf of ISAC, congratulations to all our Illinois State Scholars for their extraordinary academic achievements,” said ISAC Executive Director Eric Zarnikow. “These high school seniors managed through the personal and learning challenges of the pandemic for several years of high school, and their accomplishments reflect their passion and dedication to academic pursuits. We also want to acknowledge and thank families, counselors, educators, mentors, and communities for their encouragement and often invaluable support in helping students along each step of their educational path.”
The Illinois State Scholar designation is a non-monetary award. Each State Scholar will receive a congratulatory letter and a Certificate of Achievement from ISAC. Additionally, awardees can download an official Illinois State Scholar Program badge to display on their online profiles, social media platforms, and share with their high school counselors, colleges, employers, family members and others.
Rockridge will recognize our Illinois State Scholars with a banner in the school lobby. Students will receive recognition at our Awards Night in May where they will be presented with a special medallion to be worn at their graduation ceremony.
Congratulations to Deputy Rasso - this year's winner of the JH/HS Door Decorating Contest!!
