Students must complete an application and compete with others from across the state. Those selected attend the program free of charge.
Superintendent Roach also presented a Certificate of Achievement to Anna Hughes and Clara Ortt who were selected for the MSU Commonwealth Honors Academy.
Upon completion of CHA, students will receive six hours of university credit; have the opportunity to take tuition-free university courses at MSU during their senior year; and will be awarded a four-year, $2,000-per-year housing scholarship to attend MSU.
