The Illinois Student Assistance Commission recognized 46 McHenry seniors as Illinois State Scholars in honor of their superior academic achievement.
The commission annually selects Illinois State Scholars from across the state based on a formula that includes class rank and performance on ACT and SAT tests. About 10% of Illinois students are selected for the program.
“We are very proud of these students, particularly given the challenges of the past few years,” McHenry High School District 156 Superintendent Ryan McTague said in a statement. “Their efforts in high school are setting the stage for successful futures.”
The district’s Illinois State Scholars are Cyrus Alcala, Alison Anthony, Ryan Borchardt, Anahi Castilla, Katrina Cronin, Sara Dabbagh, Conner Daehler, Sarah Doherty, Alexandra Fogleman, Alyssa Franklin, Logyn Frapolly, Jillian Galuszka, Megan Goff, Megan Gordon, Katelyn Hanley, Steven Hansen, Laine Hanson, Molly Harrison, Lissette Hernandez, Joseph Hissem, Abbie Honkala, Smantha Hoskins, Alexis Kaplan, Emma Keesey, Hunter Kirk, Skyler Kunetka, Jeff Lin, Caroline Maye, Anna McLaughlin, Aspen O’Brien, Claudia Quint, Giana Ramel, Kristina Robinson, Connor Rodgers, Ella Ruppenthal, Alexis Schwartz, Sawyer Shea, Natalie Sorensen, Shane Spatol, Catherine Storlie, Riley Tobin, Arianna Vallianatos, Jack Waters, Renee Wise, Lydia Zancho and Jorryn Zelek.
