Ryann Mackenzie Latham, a graduating senior at New Hope High School, has been named a Career and Technical Program candidate as part of the 2019 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The candidates were nominated by their chief state school officers based on their accomplishments in career and technical education fields.
The Commission on Presidential Scholars will select the finalists and the U.S. Department of Education will announce the 161 Scholars in May. Of these, 20 will be selected.
Scholars will be invited to Washington, D.C., in June to receive the Presidential Scholars Medallion at the National Recognition Program and to participate in events and activities.
Latham is the daughter of Robert and Gwendolyn Latham.
