Top students give advice in KXLY project

KXLY 4 asked top students from around the Inland Northwest for their secrets to success. The resulting project, called Head of the Class, will begin airing on the TV station's 6 p.m. newscast Sunday. 

The 22 students were nominated by their schools, and are either valedictorians or have near-perfect grades. They talked with KXLY's Melissa Luck about how many hours they study, what they fear, and what teacher made the biggest difference in their lives, a news release said.  The reporting project will include the students' tips, as well as their bios and photos.
