Presidential scholar
Megan Michelle Davies, a graduating senior at Newton High School, has been named one of more than 2,600 candidates in the 2007 Presidential Scholars Program. The candidates were selected from nearly 2.8 million students expected to graduate from U.S. high schools in 2007. Davies is the daughter of Scott and Mary Beth Davies. She is the granddaughter of Laura Davies of Emporia and Elma Fry of Madison.
The Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of some 32 eminent citizens appointed by the President, will make final selection of the scholars. They will select one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rica, and U.S. students living abroad; 15 students at-large; and up to 20 students from the creative and performing arts. The U.S. Department of Education will announce the Scholars in May.
