Eighteen EPCHS Students Named Illinois State Scholars

Evergreen Park Community High School Principal Bill Sanderson is pleased to announce that 18 students from the graduating Class of 2020 have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars. They are: Angela Bosch, Colin Brennan, Lilah Brown, Sinead Doogan, Liam Duffy, Cameron Dunlap, Kallista Elwood, Kathleen Jacobson, Liam Kantzler, Christopher Kompare, Morgan Markowicz, Ruby Mendoza, Sarah Meyer, Matthew Miglieri, Kevin O’Toole, Brooke Scanlon, Emily Serafin, and Rachel Witte.

The 2020-21 Illinois State Scholars represent approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors from 726 high schools across the state. Illinois State Scholars are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank. The 2020-21 designation applies to the year these students will begin their post-secondary education.

Honorees will receive a congratulatory letter from ISAC, a personalized Certificate of Achievement as well as a digital Illinois State Scholar badge. The badge can be displayed on their online profiles and social media accounts, and shared with high school counselors, prospective colleges, employers, family members and others.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) is the state agency committed to helping make college accessible and affordable for Illinois families. This year, more than 17,500 honorees join the other top students who have been honored for their academic achievements since the designation was first introduced in 1958.

“Congratulations to these exceptional students for their academic excellence,” said Principal Sanderson. “I am proud of the commitment they have made to their education and thankful for our supportive school community.”
