Secretary of Education Susan Bunting will honor top public school students from the Class of 2018 at the annual Secretary of Education Scholars banquet Tuesday, April 24 at Dover Downs Hotel in Dover.
The students’ accomplishments will be celebrated by some of the state’s political and education leaders, who will be joined by their families, district superintendents, heads of charter schools and principals. The number of scholars from each school is based on enrollment, and students are selected by their principals based on both their academic records and community service.
“For me this is one of the most inspiring nights of the year, when I get to meet so many outstanding young people and the families and educators who have supported them during their academic careers. These scholars have all achieved incredible academic success while also making significant contributions to their school groups, athletic teams and community organizations,” Bunting said.
The state has named Secretary of Education Scholars every year since 1984.
