Providence Catholic Names 41 Illinois State Scholars

NEW LENOX (December 4, 2018) – Dr. John Harper, Principal of Providence Catholic High School is pleased to announce that 41 students have been recognized as 2018-19 Illinois State Scholars. This prestigious award is given annually by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) that recognizes the top high school students from across the state as this year’s State Scholars.

Generally, Illinois State Scholars represent approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors. However, more than 15 percent of the PCHS senior class were awarded this honor. Scholars are chosen based on a combination of ACT, SAT or Prairie State Achievements scores at the end of the student’s junior year and other criteria as determined by the Illinois State Scholar Commission.

“We are very proud of these students who strive for academic excellence and are leaders among their peers,” said Dr. Harper.
