In a tradition that dates nearly 40 years, the secretary of education at the Delaware Department of Education has published a list of Secretary Scholars.

This year, Secretary of Education Mark Holodick honored 89 high school seniors across the state with the award.

In a press release, he called the students the kind of leaders the state needs and said he was impressed  with what the students achieved through all the COVID-19 pandemic challenges.

“During their high school careers they have persevered through school building closures, remote learning, hybrid learning and the transition back to full-time face-to-face instruction,” he said in the press release. “Not only have they earned high academic accolades, they are leaders in their schools, athletic teams and communities. Many have balanced impressive class schedules and extracurricular calendars with part-time jobs and volunteer service.”

Scholars who have performed exceptionally academically while also leaving their footprint on their community are selected by each high school  for Holodick to honor.
