It’s time for “Best of the Class” for 2010!

WCIA 3 has recognized area high school seniors through the Best of the Class project since 1983. Once again this year, we videotaped the students at Lake of the Woods Park, near Mahomet.  The vignettes are airing now so you can the honored students on WCIA 3, WCFN 49, and here on IllinoisHomepage.net.

The “Best of the Class” is the top seniors graduating from high schools in the WCIA 3 viewing area. The criteria for the Best of the Class 2010 is the top GPA from the graduating senior class of each high school in our viewing area. Some schools do have more than one student representing them because of GPA ties for the top honor.

Congratulations for your academic achievements and best wishes for the future!
