Three West Students Honored by State of Kansas

Story by Karleigh Johnson


Tuesday, the Kansas Department of Education selected 58 high school seniors from across the state as the 2018 Career and Technical Education (CTE) Scholars.  Their number included three West High students: Michael Nguyen, Brooke Olson and Destiny Reicher.

Now in its second year, the Kansas CTE Scholar program recognizes "well-rounded, outstanding students who are finishing their senior year of high school" as described in a statement by the district.

In order to be chosen as a scholar, seniors in high school must meet the following criteria:

  • Have earned or presently enrolled in 3.0 or more CTE credits
  • Provide documentation of technical skill attainment
  • Have a CTE Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 or better in CTE coursework
  • Demonstrated leadership
  • Demonstrated community engagement
  • Have professional learning experiences
  • Provide a career vision summary statement
The newly selected scholars will receive a commemorative pin, special certificate, and statewide recognition.  West High principal Joel Hudson encourages all to seek these three out and congratulate them for this award.
