We are wrapping up a week of recognizing Excellence in Academics at Harrisonville High School. As the high school moves to use of the Latin Honors system, the Foundation is transitioning our Excellence in Academics recognition as well. Beginning with this year's sophomore class (Class of 2029), underclassmen are honored when they initially earn Cum Laude status (3.5 or higher) with a physical letter award.

Members of the Class of 2029 who complete their senior year earning Summa Cum Laude honors (4.0) will receive the Excellence in Academics Scholarship ($500) and can designate a program for the Bill Mills Leaving a Legacy Grant.
