Several Local Students Recognized as Rising Stars of Indiana

A number of students from schools in the area made their way onto the Indiana Association of School Principals’ list of Rising Stars of Indiana Class of 2019.

School officials from all across the state were encouraged to nominate up to four students currently in 11th grade based on academic achievement. Juniors from John Glenn, Knox and South Central high schools were recognized for their dedication and hard work.

The Indiana Association of School Principals describes Rising Stars of Indiana as non-competitive recognition program designed to honor high school juniors for outstanding academics. They say the hope is that by allowing schools to identify high-achieving scholars during their Junior year, it will increase visibility and scholarship opportunities for the students.

At John Glenn High School in Walkerton, Abigail Griffiths, Brianna Helminger, Abigail Houser and Taylor Murray were nominated to represent their school. The Knox Juniors who received nominations were Madeline Krueger, Madison Land, Kaitlyn Lindbergh and Sarah Stephenson. At West Central in Francesville, Kaelie Eberhart, Courtney Isch, Corri Shepherd and Shyla Wenzel were recognized as Rising Stars.
