Bremen HS Announces Illinois State Scholars

Bremen High School’s Principal Dave Kibelkis is pleased to announce that 14 Bremen High School seniors have been recognized as Illinois State Scholars.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state agency committed to helping to make college accessible and affordable for Illinois families, bestows this prestigious recognition to top Illinois high school students annually. This year nearly 19,000 elite honorees join the other top state students honored for their academic achievements since the designation was first introduced in 1958.

Illinois State Scholars represent approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors, hailing from 652 different high schools across the state. Illinois State Scholars possess strong academic potential and are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank.

The following students were named 2015-2016 Illinois State Scholars: Damian Behymer, Javier Covarrubias, Maria Dorado, Samantha Duffy, Emilio Feregrino, Suhayb Froukh, Jenna Gaskin, Delfino Gomez, Sterlen Johnson, Jazmin Mercado Villalobos, Diana Pacheco, Raymond Perez, Brooke Pisciotto and Philip Powers.

While this distinguished recognition does not include a monetary prize, recipients are encouraged to cite the honor on applications for college admission and scholarships. The Bremen High School staff is proud of these seniors and look forward to following them in years to come. To find out more about Illinois State Scholars visit the web site at isac.org.
