North Side seniors Joe Le and Rache Stotts-Johnson pulled in four-year, full-ride scholarships last week when they were named Washington Scholars.
The award goes to the top 1 percent of graduating seniors based on academics, leadership and community activities.
Winners receive full-tuition scholarships to any state public school.
Le, from Rogers High, plans to study pre-medicine as an undergraduate. Stotts-Johnson, from North Central, is tracked to be a bio-chemistry major.
More Rogers accolades
The work of Rogers High yearbook adviser Peter Perkins has already garnered the school and its students national recognition.
Now Perkins himself has been honored, as Washington Journalism Education Association’s Adviser of the Year.
Previously, the prestigious Columbia Scholastic Press Association gave the 1995 Rogers “Treasure Chest” its top award, the first and only Washington high school yearbook given such an honor.
