February 4, 2010 - Shaker Heights High School seniors Alison Boyd and Rose Egelhoff have been selected as candidates for the United States Presidential Scholars Program.

The program was established in 1964 by executive order of the President to recognize and honor some of the nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Out of some 3,000 candidates, as many as 141 students are chosen annually to become Presidential Scholars and are selected on the basis of their accomplishments in many areas, including academic and artistic success, leadership, and involvement in the school and community.

Students chosen as Presidential Scholars will be recognized at a ceremony sponsored by the White House in June in Washington, D.C.

More information about the Presidential Scholars Program is available on the U.S. Department of Education website.
