LAWRENCE — Students from 10 Kansas high schools were honored Nov. 2 by the University of Kansas Alumni Association and KU Endowment.

A total of 305 seniors from high schools in Johnson County were recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a program and reception at Gardner Edgerton High School, Gardner.

Since 1971, the Kansas Honors Program has recognized over 125,000 scholars who rank in the top 10 percent of their high school senior classes and are selected regardless of occupational plans or higher education goals. Each year, the KU Alumni Association and its volunteers host 36 programs that reach all 105 counties across the state and include approximately 360 high schools.

During the ceremony, each student will receive a Webster’s New College Dictionary.

David Johnston, vice president of marketing & digital media at the KU Alumni Association, will speak to the students and their parents and guests.

Community volunteers collect reservations, coordinate details and serve as local contacts for the event. Mark and Elaine Corder, of Olathe, serve as Johnson County coordinators. Elaine Vallejos, of Olathe, is the site coordinator and Johnson County coordinator.

The Kansas Honors Program is made possible by KU Endowment and proceeds from the Jayhawk license plate program. The Class of 2017 scholars:
