Two area students, Zoey Hambleton of Panorama Schools and Emerson Van Meter of ACGC, were honored by Gov. Kim Reynolds during the April 28 Governor’s Scholar Recognition ceremony at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. The event is sponsored by the Iowa Farm Bureau Foundation and honored 424 high school seniors from across the state.
Each high school was asked to designate the senior with the highest academic ranking through the first seven semesters of seniors’ high school years. Each of the 424 seniors were asked to name a “most influential teacher.” Hambleton named Anne Masters, while Van Meter named Jennifer Hartwig.
