Published 2:14 pm Friday, February 20, 2015

Margaret “Maggie” Hoberg, a senior at Eagle Harbor High School, is among approximately 3,900 candidates in the 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program.

The program recognizes and honors some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Hoberg’s selection came from nearly 3.4 million students expected to graduate from U.S. high schools in 2015.

The U.S. Department of Education will announce the Scholars in May. Scholars will receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House in June.
