DaLana Kron, a senior at West Branch High School, was recognized April 30 by Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds for outstanding academic achievement at the 15th Annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Ceremony at Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines.


The statewide program is sponsored by the Iowa Governor’s Office, Iowa High School Athletic Assoc. and Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and honored 429 seniors from across the state.

Each high school was invited to select a senior student with the highest academic ranking based on grade point average for their first seven semester.

Students selected for the award also had the opportunity to recognized their favorite/most influential teacher and receive a photo plaque of their meeting with Branstad and Reynolds.

Some 99 percent of those recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with more than 75 percent participating in at least one interscholastic sport.

More than 65 percent of the seniors plan to continue their education in Iowa.
