Hartsburg-Emden High School proudly
congratulates seniors Celia Cross and Ella Klokkenga on being named
Illinois State Scholars for the 2025–2026 academic year. This honor
is awarded by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) and
recognizes the very highest academic achievers in the state.
Each year, more than 20,000 students across Illinois are selected
for this prestigious distinction. Illinois State Scholars represent
approximately the top 10 percent of high school seniors statewide,
drawn from nearly 750 high schools. Selection is based on a
combination of SAT or ACT scores and class rank (if applicable) at
the end of the student’s junior year. High school counselors
collaborate with ISAC to verify eligibility and determine
recipients.
While Illinois State Scholar recognition does not include a monetary
award, the honor is highly respected. Students may proudly include
this distinction on college applications, scholarship submissions,
and academic resumes as evidence of exceptional scholastic
performance.
