The Republic School District is proud to announce that two seniors from Republic High School's graduating class of 2024 have been recognized by the Missouri Scholars 100 program. The statewide initiative is organized by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals. Missouri Scholars 100 celebrates the accomplishments of 100 outstanding graduating students across the state.

Republic High School senior Brady Purcell has been distinguished as one of the top academic students in the state through the 2024 Missouri Scholars 100 program!

This is a competitive program that invites schools from across Missouri to nominate candidates based on academic excellence. The selection process employs a formula considering the students grade point average and ACT or SAT scores. Nominees must meet the criteria of an "Academic Decathlon," successfully navigating ten challenging academic events to showcase their scholastic strength.

To qualify, students must hold a minimum GPA of 3.750, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 1,280, rank in the upper ten percent of their class, and engage in advanced coursework in mathematics, science, English and foreign language. Additionally, nominees must exhibit excellent attendance, exemplary citizenship within the school and active participation in the school's activity program.

Republic High School senior Ryan Bourbina has been selected for "Honorable Mention" in the prestigious 2024 Missouri Scholars 100 program.

Join us in congratulating Brady and Ryan on this achievement! We are #RepMOProud of both of these inspiring students!
