Putnam County High School in Granville announced five students from the graduating Class of 2024 have been designated as Illinois State Scholars.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the state’s college access and financial aid agency, presents this recognition of academic achievement to exceptional Illinois high school students annually. The recipients of this award are selected based on their class rank and SAT scores and represent the top 10% of high school seniors from across the state.

Wasilewski, daughter of Andy and Emily Wasilewski, plans to attend IVCC and study business. Vipond, son of Jim and Taylor Vipond, plans to attend a still undecided, but lucky to have him, university to study pre-med.
