Six area high school seniors have been named to the Marshall County Journal’s 26th Annual All-Area Academic Team. Students from Britton-Hecla and Langford Area were selected for the squad, which recognizes student-citizens from the county schools.
“Our goal is to honor our outstanding students who not only excel in the classroom but who are also good citizens of their communities,” said Journal publisher Doug Card. “Area athletes are frequently named to All-Area, All-Conference, and All-State teams, and we’re pleased to bestow a similar type of recognition for academic achievement on area students.”
This year, students applied to be part of the team and were assessed by an independent panel of judges. The judges noted they were overwhelmed by the level of not only academic achievement but also community involvement and service amongst the applicants.
Members of this year’s All-Area Academic Team include Jayden Bender, Kaegan Fredrickson, Emma Kraft and Brynlee Patterson of Britton-Hecla, and Megan Gustafson and Cali VanderVorst of Langford Area.
