Rockwood Students Named Scholar Athletes by St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A student from each Rockwood School District high school was chosen as a Scholar Athlete by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Now in its 58th year, the Post-Dispatch Scholar Athlete program honors students who "lettered in at least one varsity sport, are in the top 25 percent of their graduating class and are in good standing at their respective high schools," according to the paper.

Rockwood's representatives this year are Bailey Boulay (Eureka High), Natalie Barnard (Lafayette High), Mia Scanlon (Marquette High) and Katie Jundt (Rockwood Summit High).
