The Indiana Student Teacher Achievement Recognition program is a cooperative effort among Centerville, Connersville, Franklin County, Hagerstown, Lincoln, Rushville, Tri, and Union County High Schools. This award is open to the top 10 percent of the seniors in each high school. Three seniors are selected from each school based on their application.
