Scholastic Contest is Friday

Dr. Janie Park, president of Chadron State, said the scholastic contest is a proud and time-honored tradition that recognizes the academic achievements and talents of high school students from throughout the region. The CSC contest is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the Midwest.

Fifty tests will be administered by Chadron State faculty members, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Students may take as many as three tests. Two new tests, Veterinary Sciences and Information Literacy, have been added this year.

Medals will be awarded to the top three individuals in each test. Seniors who win first in a test will receive a Scholastic Achievement Award, which will cover the in-state tuition to attend Chadron State for one year.
