Three Staples Students Candidates for Presidential Scholar

Three Staples High School students – (l-r) Alex Lochoff, Ryan Greenberg, and Eric Lombardo – are among a select group of students nationwide named as honorees and candidates in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The program recognizes students for their academic and extra-curricular involvement with both the school and their community. Each year, up to 141 students are named as Presidential Scholars. Students chosen as U.S. Presidential Scholars receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, D. C. in June and the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House, in commemoration of their achievements. Semifinalists will be notified in mid-April with the U.S. Presidential Scholars notified in May. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
