Newport Central Catholic High School is excited to announce that Juniors Elena Potts and Madison Wolf have been selected to represent NCC in the Kentucky Governor’s Scholar Program this summer.
This prestigious five-week study program provides academic and personal growth in a non-traditional experience at Centre College, Morehead State University, or Murray University. Students were selected based on test scores from the PSAT, SAT or ACT, unweighted GPA, and difficulty of course load. Additionally, students must submit a writing entry and demonstrate what they have done in the areas of extracurricular activities and community service.
NCC Principal Kenny Collopy stated, “Being chosen for the Governor’s Scholar Program, one of Kentucky’s top student awards, is quite an accomplishment! It requires long hours of schoolwork, extracurriculars, community service, and applying for the program. Thousands of highly qualified juniors from across the state of Kentucky apply each year, and the competition is fierce. We are proud to recognize Elena and Madison and congratulate them on their acceptance to this distinguished program; they truly deserve and have earned this opportunity.”
Elena is the daughter of Maria Howard and Will Potts of St. Therese Parish.
Madison is the daughter of Jen and Rick Wolf of St. Joseph Parish.
