Holt’s Lucas selected as Student of Achievement
January 4, 2011
Wentzville, MO
Hannah Lucas, a junior at Holt High School, has been selected as a KMOX/Southeast Missouri State University Student of Achievement. The KMOX Student of Achievement program began 18 years ago when Hall of Fame broadcaster Jack Buck created the scholarship fund to recognize the positive accomplishments of area students.
“I’m honored to be recognized, it’s a great acknowledgement of what I’ve been able to accomplish so far,” said Lucas. “School means a lot to me, I really like learning and I’m not afraid of hard work.”
The annual award recognizes a select group of students throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in academics, athletics, the arts, community service and leadership.
Lucas is ranked in the top ten in her class, has always received straight A’s, and scored a 31 on the ACT test. She is a member of Student Council and the National Honor Society, and also competes on the varsity track and swimming teams. This past fall she ran at the State cross country meet for the second year, and last summer she competed in a triathlon and placed first in the 18 and under division.
Lucas has done volunteer work through school and her church, worked with a local Girl Scout troop, collected school supplies for needy students, and helped raise money to fight cancer. As a result of her accomplishments, Lucas will receive a Student of Achievement Scholarship to attend Southeast Missouri State University in the fall of 2012. Congratulations to Hannah Lucas for being selected as a Student of Achievement!
