Oswego Community Unit School District 308 Board issued the following announcement on Dec. 3.
Oswego Community Unit School District 308 is pleased to announce a record-setting 105 students from Oswego East High School and 78 students for Oswego High Schools’ graduating classes of 2019 have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state agency committed to helping to make college accessible and affordable for Illinois families, confers this prestigious recognition to top Illinois high school students annually. This year, more than 21,000 honorees join the other top students who have been honored for their academic achievements since the designation was first introduced in 1958.
Illinois State Scholars represent approximately the top ten (10) percent of high school seniors from 757 high schools across the state. Illinois State Scholars are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank.
“We are very proud of the many students from both Oswego East High School and Oswego High School for receiving the distinguished recognition of being an Illinois State Scholars,” says Jamie Max, director of high school education. “These students are not only committed and dedicated to their academic achievements but are also great leaders and volunteers in our schools and community.”
