La Lumiere is proud to announce that Emmy Jaracz has been named a 2024 Indiana Academic All-Star. Now in its 38th year, Indiana Academic All-Stars is a program of the Indiana Association of School Principals (IASP). Each year, forty high school seniors from throughout Indiana are nominated for this honor. Emmy was selected among 39 other recipients from a field of 281 outstanding nominees from the state’s private and public accredited schools.
Academic All-Star distinction recognizes seniors who excel in the classroom first and foremost, but who also are actively involved in their schools and communities, and take on leadership roles in those activities. The IASP Indiana Academic All-Stars program salutes academic excellence in the same manner that student athletes traditionally are honored. By providing a showcase for academically talented seniors, the sponsoring organizations hope to accomplish the following objectives:
- Give academic achievement the prestige it deserves;
- Motivate students to recognize the value of academic excellence;
- Provide students with an incentive for academic achievement, and
- Promote a positive image of Indiana’s young people.
Each public and private high school accredited by the Indiana Department of Education may nominate one senior for consideration as an Indiana Academic All-Star. Selection of the school’s nominee is based upon the following considerations:
- Student transcript, Dual Credit, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced College Placement classes taken/grades received.
- Academic achievements and honors, academic courses, and academic extracurricular activities.
- Other extracurricular activities, community service, and leadership qualities.
