A number of students from Marshall County schools made their way onto the Indiana Association of School Principals’ list of the Rising Stars of Indiana Class of 2019.
School officials from all across the state were encouraged to nominate up to four students currently in 11th grade based on academic achievement. Juniors from Argos, Bremen, Triton and Plymouth high schools were recognized for their hard work and dedication.
At Argos Sr. High School Brock Bucker, Kalei Carlton, Kendall Carnes and Alison Overmyer were nominated. Bremen Sr. High School nominated Jackson Barnes, Kaitlyn Cullers, Evan Manges and Kaelyn Shively to represent their school corporation. In Bourbon at Triton Sr. High School, juniors recognized for their academic performance included Thomas Arndt, Kathryn Nelson, Jenna Swihart and Joshua Taylor.
Four Plymouth High School students, Annalise Barden, Jackson Lee, Julia Patrick and Samantha Zechiel, were also recognized as Rising Stars. They were previously mentioned in a MAX news story where they were personally congratulated by Superintendent Andy Hartley during a Plymouth School Board meeting.
The Indiana Association of School Principals describes Rising Stars of Indiana as non-competitive recognition program designed to honor high school juniors for outstanding academics. They say the hope is that by allowing schools to identify high-achieving scholars during their Junior year, it will increase visibility and scholarship opportunities for the students.
