Newport Central Catholic High School is excited to announce that Junior Hailey Ryan has 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 State 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, community service, and honors and awards.
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 Hailey and congratulate her on her acceptance into this distinguished program; she truly deserves and has earned this opportunity.”
Hailey is the daughter of Maureen and Chris Ryan of St. Catherine Parish.
Additionally, Junior Maura Franzen, daughter of Lauren and Jeff Franzen of St. Joseph parish was chosen an alternate.
Special thanks to Mrs. Jill Aseltyne who helped guide our students through the application process and to the many teachers, coaches, and club moderators who wrote letters of recommendation for our students.
