Smith-Cotton High School Class of 2020 valedictorian Hunter Sparks, left, and salutatorian Aaron Hughes received their Missouri Scholars 100 awards on Friday, July 17, during Commencement practice.
A release from Sedalia School District 200 says each year the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals selects the top 100 senior students based on exceptional scholarship, citizenship and reliability.
S-C Principal Wade Norton said it is believed this is the first year that S-C had two students selected for the honor.
