A total of 46 Lemont High School seniors have been tabbed as Illinois State Scholars by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). More than 18,800 students from across Illinois were honored with this prestigious award this year.

Illinois State Scholars honorees represent approximately the top 10 percent of the state’s high school seniors, representing more than 670 public high schools.
