One hundred thirty of Rolla graduating high school seniors have earned “Show-Me Scholars/Tech Master” honors by fulfilling a pledge to take more rigorous classes during high school.
Students who completed the program received Show-Me Scholars/Tech Master medallions and cords at a Wednesday event to wear at their upcoming graduation ceremonies to highlight their accomplishments.
The local business community also funded 30 $1,000 scholarships to award to selected graduates.
“You might be going to a four-year college, a community college, a technical school, apprenticeship, the military or straight into the workforce,” Rolla Area Chamber Executive Director Stevie Kearse told the students. “Whatever you decide, you are better prepared because you did take more challenging classes in high school.”
