SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

            The National Merit Scholarship Program was created to identify and recognize exceptional students in the United States.  Created in 1955, it is one of the most competitive programs in our nation.  Our recipients began the process in their junior year when they participated in the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test given to students nationwide. 

            Based upon exceptional performance on this test, one half of the top 1 percent of the approximate one million students who completed the exam were designated as National Merit Finalists.  Lafayette High School is proud to have 19 students who have been recognized this year as either Commended or Finalists students.

GLORY OF MISSOURI

                The Glory of Missouri Award is an honor given by the Missouri State House of Representatives, recognizing students that best represent the fourteen qualities engraved around the ceiling of the state capitol in Jefferson City.  Lafayette staff members nominated individual seniors for each of the characteristics and qualities.  Based on the nominations, the Glory of Missouri Award winners were selected.  Seniors receiving this award traveled to Jefferson City in March to be recognized by a member of the House of Representatives and were acknowledged on the floor of the House while in session.  Award recipients received an impressive plaque and had their picture taken at the capitol with their elected representative.
