Not all high school students graduate with a perfect grade-point average or excel in every school subject.

But through the Sun Scholar awards, students are recognized for the subjects they do have a passion for and have demonstrated excellence in.

For the fourth year, graduating seniors of all area high schools have been nominated to be recognized as Sun Scholars, a program sponsored by The Sun.

The program serves as a way to acknowledge students for their excellence in a specific academic area at their school, said Lori Stofft, marketing director at The Sun.

High school teachers and counselors are asked to nominate one student in each of seven academic categories, Stofft said: math, social sciences, science, career technical, language arts, arts and foreign languages.
