OVHS State Scholars
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission released a list of the Illinois State Scholars. Okaw Valley High School state scholars pictured left to right: Danielle Lochbaum, Hannah Landreth, Natalie Jeffers, Ethan Macklin, Quinn Brooks, Kyra Jackson, Kaitlyn Hinton, and Trey Yarnell. The formula used in selection of State Scholars is a combination of ACT/SAT scores and high school class rank. In any academic year, approximately 10 percent of all Illinois high school graduates are named state scholars. Okaw Valley ended up having 17 percent of the senior class being named state scholars and five percent of the entire student body which is tops in the area.
