2014-15 NDHSAA/Farmer's Union Insurance Distinguished Students Selections Underway

The North Dakota High School Activities Association and Farmers Union Insurance are proud to announce the finalists for the 2014-2015 Distinguished Student Award. These students have been selected from an outstanding group of juniors from across the state. These six will be interviewed on Friday, May 2nd. The final results will be announced at a noon luncheon that day.

The six interviewing for the Distinguished Student Award are:
Mikayla Aluise        Richardton-Taylor
Rachel Hall        Kindred
Kenady Hansen        Washburn
Gavin Muscha        Richland
Clarissa Ann Olson    Valley City

The NDHSAA Distinguished Student program was developed to recognize deserving young people who are the “backbone” of interscholastic activities, not necessarily the leader, but the individual whose participation in high school activities strengthens the program for participants, the school and the community. Applicants are students entering their senior year. The student must be a participant as a player, manager, statistician or other role in at least one NDHSAA sponsored activity. The student must be a good citizen and role model to his/her peers as well as a contributor to his/her school and community.

The NDHSAA Distinguished Student recipient receives a medallion and a Farmers Union Insurance sponsored $2,000 scholarship to the college of his/her choice. He/she is invited to be the Grand Marshall of the NDHSAA “Parade of Champions” as well as participating in other activities such as serving as the NDHSAA spokesperson for High School Activities Month, promoting the values of activity programs and participating in awarding of trophies at major NDHSAA state contests. The runner-up will receive a medallion and a $1,000 scholarship. The other four finalists receive a medallion, a $500 scholarship to the college of his/her choice, publication in the Bulletin and other recognition in connection with NDHSAA events.
