2011 Oct 17

Holly Silvia, a Wichita senior at Northeast Magnet High School, will be among seniors from 13 Kansas high schools to be honored Monday, Nov. 7, by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 361 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 the Wichita State University, Eugene M. Hughes Metro Complex, 5015 E. 29th St. North, Wichita.

Since 1971, the Kansas Honors Program has recognized over 114,000 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 41 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state and include more than 360 high schools.
