New York State Senator John W. Mannion has nominated Liverpool High School senior Lauren Ragonese for the prestigious Presidential Scholars Program.
Ragonese was nominated for her outstanding academic success and involvement in school & community service.
Senator Mannion’s nominations will be sent to the New York State Education Department, who will determine which nominees to share with the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars.
Presidential Scholar recognition is one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students who represent excellence in education and the promise of greatness in young people. Each year, the Commission on Presidential Scholars selects scholars from among the top high school seniors in the country based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations, and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership, and commitment to high ideals.
