LRHS Senior Selected for State Academic Honor

High school senior, Caelyn Wood of Logan-Rogersville High School has received “Honorable Mention” for the 2024 Missouri Scholars 100, a statewide program that honors 100 of Missouri’s top academic students in the graduating class of 2024.  The announcement was made by Dr. Teresa J. McKenzie, Principal at Logan-Rogersville High School, recognizing Caelyn’s exceptional commitment to academic excellence.

Missouri Scholars 100 is a program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals.  Schools across Missouri were invited to nominate candidates for this statewide recognition.  The selection is based primarily on a formula using the student’s grade point average and ACT or SAT score.  Each student nominated had first to meet the criteria of an “Academic Decathlon,” which included ten “events” designed to ensure the student’s academic strength.  To qualify, students must have a minimum GPA of 3.750, a minimum ACT score of 29, rank in the upper ten percent of the class, and be enrolled in high-level courses in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language.  Exemplary attendance, outstanding citizenship, and active participation in school activities are also essential.

Clark Mershon, Executive Director of the Principals’ Association, said, “The Missouri Scholars 100 Program is one of the premier academic recognition programs in the country.  It is truly a celebration of learning.  Students selected for this program have taken a rigorous course of study and maintained the highest academic standards.  The Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals wants to celebrate the achievement and success of these students and their schools.”

This year marks the 30^th Annual Missouri Scholars 100 recognition program, a testament to three decades of honoring academic excellence.  For additional information, contact MoASSP at 573-445-5071.
