Missouri Scholars 100 is sponsored by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals. Schools across Missouri are invited to nominate candidates. The selection is based primarily on a formula using the student's grade-point average and ACT or SAT college-preparation score.
Each nominated student had to first meet criteria of an "academic decathlon," which included 10 events designed to assure the academic strength of the student. To meet the decathlon requirements, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.75, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 2,400, be ranked in the upper 10 percent of the class and have taken upper-level courses in mathematics, science, English and foreign language.
The student must also have excellent attendance, be an exemplary school citizen and be involved in school activities.
This year's Scholars 100 class was recognized at a luncheon last spring.
