Washington, DC— U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) announced today the induction of Amanda Beehler of Douglas County to the National Honor Roll. The National Honor Roll program recognizes students for superior academic achievement.
Beehler, of Delmont, is a member of the volleyball team, her church youth group and takes part in her school’s Quiz Bowl. She has been honored with the President’s Education Award for academic achievements. Upon graduation from Tripp-Delmont School she plans to attend college and major in nursing.
“National Honor Roll inductees have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement and are considered to be among the top students in the state,” said Johnson. “I am proud that so many of South Dakota’s students are being nationally recognized for their academic excellence.”
Each year the National Honor Roll program honors exemplary students from across the country. To qualify, middle or high school students must earn a B or higher average. Extra curricular activities are also considered. This year, 547 South Dakota students were honored with induction.
