FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 6, 2025
Owensville High School Senior Honored as Missouri Scholars 100 Recipient
[Columbia, MO] - High school senior Jadan Zelch of Owensville High School has been distinguished as one of the top academic students in the state through the 2025 Missouri Scholars 100 program. This statewide initiative, organized by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals, recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of 100 outstanding students from the graduating class of 2025.
The announcement of Jadan Zelch's selection for this esteemed academic honor was made by Kris Altemeyer, Principal at Owensville High School. The recognition will culminate in a special luncheon hosted at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia, MO, on Sunday, May 4, 2025.
Missouri Scholars 100 is a competitive program that invited schools across the state to nominate candidates based on academic excellence. The selection process employs a formula considering the student's grade point average and ACT or SAT scores. Nominees must meet the criteria of an "Academic Decathlon," successfully navigating ten challenging academic events to showcase their scholastic strength.
To qualify, students must hold a minimum GPA of 3.750, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 1,280, rank in the upper ten percent of their class, and engage in advanced coursework in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language. Additionally, nominees must exhibit excellent attendance, exemplary citizenship within the school, and active participation in the school's activity program.
Clark Mershon, Executive Director of the principals’ association, expressed, "The Missouri Scholars 100 Program is one of the premier academic recognition programs in the country. It is truly a celebration of learning. Students selected for this program have taken a rigorous course of study and maintained the highest academic standards. The Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals wants to celebrate the achievement and success of these students and their schools."
Dutchmen basketball defeats St. James 51-45. They will play Salem for the district championship Friday at 6:00pm at OHS.
Congrats Steven Buddemeyer for placing 3rd at Missouri State wrestling championships
Water fountains are now flowing at the Owensville campus! Thank you for your patience as we did water testing to ensure student and staff safety.
Dutchgirls basketball defeats Sullivan tonight and clinches the Four Rivers Conference title - congrats girls!
As we are still waiting on the results of the water test required after yesterday's vehicle accident caused our water to be shut off, there won't be drinking water available from our water fountains during tonight's basketball games at OHS. Water bottles will be provided for the teams and available free to the public.
Tuesday 2/25 water fountains will be turned off on campus until restored water has been tested. Please send your child with a water bottle (we will have additional bottled water available in each building).
The Golden Age dinner is coming up quickly! Please share this with any community members in their "Golden" era!
Congratulations to Alison Daniels and Noah Caldwell our 2025 Fall Homecoming Queen and King!
