Four high school sophomores—Academy graduates from the Class of 2011—were chosen to represent their high schools at the Missouri Scholars Academy this summer at the University of Missouri–Columbia. They were enthusiastic participants and learned a lot during the three-week program June 9–29. Having FOUR from one elementary school class out of the 330 across Missouri was impressive. (One parent was overheard to say, “They must have come from a great school!”)
Congratulations to: (left to right in photo) Justine Kaemmerlen, Villa Duchesne; Athena Strother, Visitation Academy; Rachel Walker, St. Joseph’s Academy; and Jared Bohn, Barat Academy.
