Secretary of Education Scholars Named
--Sixty-Nine seniors recognized for outstanding achievement--
(Dover, DE.) Sixty-nine students from the graduating class of 2009 have been named “Secretary of Education Scholars” representing all 33 public and charter high schools in Delaware. The scholars program, first introduced under then State Superintendent William Keene, Ed.D., honors seniors for their outstanding commitment not only to academics but to their communities as well.
Each year, principals are asked to submit to the Department of Education the names of their exemplary scholars based on a record of academic excellence as well as a strong commitment to community service. Depending on the size of student enrollment at each high school, principals can identify between one and four students for the “Secretary of Education Scholars” award.
“I applaud the efforts of these outstanding young men and women for what they have done for themselves and for their community,” said Secretary of Education Lillian M. Lowery. “From achieving great academic success to volunteering their time at area hospitals and faith organizations to mentoring underprivileged children and working the Special Olympics, our scholars have demonstrated ‘service above self’ over and over again. Each scholar has achieved incredible success that will pave the way for a bright future. I wish each of you a wonderful journey in the years ahead.”
