United High School is pleased to announce that we have four 2026-27 Illinois State Scholars: Elizabeth, Delaney, Kendall and Ava. Approximately the top ten percent of graduates from approved high schools are announced as State Scholars each year through Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). The 2026-27 year designation given to State Scholars applies to the year students will begin their postsecondary education. The combination of their exemplary college assessment examination scores and record of high school achievement indicates they have high potential for success in college. While the accolade does not have a monetary value, being designated a State Scholar is a prestigious honor for their academic resumes.
