Brianna Bosley, a resident of Haysville and a senior at Campus High School, is among seniors from 12 area high schools who will be honored Sept. 23 by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 232 seniors from high schools in Sedgwick County will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 7 p.m. program and reception at Andale High School, 700 W. Rush Ave, Andale.

Since 1971, the Kansas Honors Program has recognized more than 120,000 scholars who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of occupational plans or higher-education goals. Each year, the KU Alumni Association and its volunteers host 37 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state and include approximately 360 high schools.

During the ceremony, each student will receive a Webster’s New College Dictionary and a commemorative certificate.

Liz Kowalchuk, associate dean for the School of the Arts, University of Kansas, will speak to the students and their parents and guests.

Community volunteers collect contributions, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Blair and Mark Rogers, of Wichita, are the site coordinators. Peggy and John Knudtson, of Wichita, are the Sedgwick County coordinators.
