50 Lemont HS Seniors Named Illinois State Scholars

LEMONT, IL — A total of 50 Lemont High School seniors have been tabbed as Illinois State Scholars by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). More than 19,000 students from across Illinois were honored with this prestigious award this year.

The school’s record for honorees came a year ago, when 60 students from the Class of 2016 were tabbed as Illinois State Scholars.
