Hoeven Recognizes Presidential Scholars
BISMARCK, N.D. - Governor John Hoeven recognized two North Dakota students today for their achievement as 2002 Presidential Scholars. The U.S. Department of Education notified Hoeven of the scholars, selected for their leadership; scholarship; contribution to school and community; and outstanding accomplishments in the arts, sciences and other fields of interest.
John R. Engelman, a senior at St. Mary’s Central High School in Bismarck, and Melissa J. Hanson, a senior at Turtle Lake-Mercer High School in Turtle Lake, were selected as 2002 Presidential Scholars for North Dakota. They were chosen from a field of nearly 2.5 million graduating seniors in the U.S.
