Benjamin Morrett, a senior at Chariton High School, was recognized by Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov Kim Reynolds for outstanding academic achievement at the Eleventh Annual Governor's Scholar Recognition. Morrett is the son of Dan and Ronda Morrett of Chariton.
Each high school was invited to select their senior or students with the highest academic ranking, based on grade point average for their first seven semesters. Students selected for the award also had the opportunity to recognize their favorite/most influential teacher and will receive a photo plaque of their meeting with Governor Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds.
Ninety-nine percent of those recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with over 80 percent participating in at least one interscholastic report. More than 60 percent of the group plan to continue their education in Iowa.
