The Jacksonville Journal-Courier, along with Lincoln Land Wind would like to present to you our 2020 Elite 5 recipients. The Journal-Courier believes in education and wanted to continue to recognize the top 5% of each underclassman grade-freshman, sophomores, and juniors in Morgan County according to each student’s grade point average. This is the 2nd annual Elite 5 program offered but due to COVID-19, we were unable to host the annual banquet. Each student still received a medal and certificate, as well as put in a drawing for various scholarships given by our local colleges of Illinois College and Lincoln Land Community College. The list of scholarship winners is listed on page 3. Parents and Students: Thank you for once again striving to be the best that you can be and focusing on your education. This is a program that the Journal-Courier hopes to continue and grow each year as our hope is that this gives the students something to strive for and obtain each year. All medals and certificates were placed in envelopes and our located at each participating school in the office. If you were a scholarship winner, information about those are also included in your individual packets. Please contact your school for pick up arrangements starting the week of June 29th. Thank you again to our major sponsor Lincoln Land Wind and the advertisers in this section. We would also like to thank our scholarship sponsors of Illinois College and Lincoln Land Community College. A big thank you to all participating high schools and the office staff to help obtain the student information and handle the pickup of packets. And lastly, thank you to the parents and especially the students for placing your education as a top priority. Congratulations 2020 Elite 5 Recipients!
