(From Webb City Schools)High School senior Sophie Roy of Webb City High School has been selected for the 2021 Missouri Scholars 100, a statewide program that honors 100 of Missouri’s top academic students in the graduating class of 2021.
The announcement was made by Josh Flora, Principal at Webb City High School. Students will be recognized at a luncheon at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia, MO, on Sunday, April 25.
Further, Webb City Senior Elease McFall was also honored, being recognized as Honorable Mention in the Missouri Scholars 100 program.
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 criteria of an “Academic Decathlon, “ which included ten “events” designed to assure the academic strength of the student.
The student must have earned a high GPA, an ACT score above a 29, be ranked in the upper ten percent of the class, and have taken high-level courses in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language. The student must also have excellent attendance, be an exemplary school citizen, and be involved in the school activities.
Clark Mershon, Executive Director of the principals’ association, said, “The Missouri Scholars 100 Program is one of the most premier academic recognition programs in the country. It is truly a celebration of learning. Students who are selected to this program have taken a rigorous course of study and have 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.”
