Congratulations, there are FOUR Sacred Heart Presidential Scholars among us! Thank you to every classroom teacher, associate, and Specials' teacher for the role you played in sharing your knowledge, faith, and commitment with these wonderful young people over the last 9 years. The 8th graders selected this year are JD Martian, Lewis Lentsch, Colin Heaston, and Josh English. This very high honor is earned by students who score between 96-99% on the DCHS high school placement test, write an essay, and submit two recommendations. Students are awarded points based on these criteria and the 15 students with the highest overall scores are selected. SHS represents nearly 1/3 of the total selected. Congratulations to all four of these wonderful young people and a special thanks to all of their teachers, and to their parents for their continued support!
