Class of 2021 Scholars

Recognition SHOW

A group of diverse students, each wearing a shirt representing their university, stand together under the title 'Super Scholars' with a laurel wreath above.

Each year, OCPS celebrates its "Super Scholars," those graduating seniors who were accepted into the nation's top 20 colleges and universities (as ranked by U.S. News and World Report) and U.S. service academies. \

Watch the show (46:51), hosted by WFTV's Nancy Alvarez, that aired Tuesday, May 18.
