The University of Kansas (KU) Alumni Association and KU Endowment recently honored Kansas high school seniors for their academic excellence and achievement. Kansas students ranking in the top 10 percent of their class received the honor.
Among them were 52 seniors from USD 305.
The KU Alumni Association delivered distinctive Kansas Honor Scholar medallions, certificates, and letters of recognition to Central and South high schools for the 52 students.
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, KU honored the scholars virtually this year. A special congratulatory video, featuring messages from KU Chancellor Doug Girod, Alumni Association President Heath Peterson, and former KU basketball player and Kansas Honor Scholar Perry Ellis, is available for viewing at kualumni.org/khs.
