Lynn Dyer, a senior student at Lafayette County C-1 High School in Higginsville, has been named a finalist for the National Honor Society’s $25,000 scholarship.

Serving as the president of her school’s NHS chapter, Lynn has organized collaborative efforts with FFA, FBLA, and FCCLA to revitalize Postage Stamp Park, demonstrating her commitment to community service.
