Scholastic Contest to test 1,500 high-schoolers

The contest features exams in 49 subjects that represent a wide array of learning disciplines. New to this year's contest are tests in equine management, photojournalism and simulated news reporting. Each senior who wins an exam competition is granted one year of free resident tuition to CSC.

"A student's selection to participate in the contest is an indication of his or her academic talent, achievement, and dedication," said CSC President Dr. Janie Park. "We sincerely appreciate the efforts on the part of the school districts, administrators, and teachers who have selected, encouraged, and supported student participation in the Chadron State College Scholastic Contest."
