THE SOUTHERN

I’m really honored to be here becausewe have a lot of great students at ourschool. I appreciate that my teachers

recognize all that I do,” said Mikka Slater,a Johnston City High School student,who was one of 199 seniors from 34 localschools recognized Tuesday night at SIUfor outstanding achievements.

Students earned recognition foracademic excellence, leadership,community service, athletics and otherextra-curricular activities during the43rd annual banquet sponsored bySouthern Illinois Society for High SchoolAchievement and The SouthernIllinoisan.

“One of the nice things about thisbanquet is that it recognizes not onlyacademic ability, but students who excelin things like music, fine arts,community service, leadership,” said TimLinduska, senior sponsor and art teacherat Elverado High School.

Students honored at the banquet werechosen by their respective schools. GaryMetro, editor of The Southern Illinoisan,and Marilyn Halstead, community neweditor for the newspaper, handed outawards.

“Every spring since 2007, I have hadthe honor of speaking at the SouthernIllinois Society for High SchoolAchievement banquet,” Metro said. “It’sa privilege to meet our best students. It’salso comforting to know the future willbe in good hands. Soon, my generationwon’t be the politicians, airline pilots,surgeons, engineers, business leaders,chemists and communicators.”

Kyle Landon, a senior at Chester HighSchool, said he was grateful to be amongthe students who were honored.

“I feel great. Only so many people get itat our school, and I’m just happy to beone to get nominated,” said Landon, whowas recognized for academic and athleticexcellence, character and communityservice.

Chester High School Swing Choir,under the direction of Steve Colonel,provided music during the dinner, andthe guest speaker was Miss Illinois 2012Megan Ervin of Rushville.
