Super Scholars from Hamilton

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Each week, Menomonee Falls Patch and Sussex Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments.

We want to hear about these amazing children and teens, and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.  Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to Editor Mark Maley.

Names: Kathryn Weinand, Cassandra Chiao, Evan Thompson.

School: Hamilton High School.

Accomplishments: Each won a Wisconsin Academic Excellence Scholarship.

Key to Awesomeness: These scholarships are presented annually to the state's highest achieving students, based on cumulative grade point averages through the first semester of the senior year. Additional criteria, if needed, are ACT/SAT scores, the number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses taken, AP grade point average and involvement in leadership activities.

The scholarships are worth $2,250 annually at any Wisconsin institution of higher learning. Kathryn, Cassandra and Evan will be recognized May 18 at the Senior Scholarship Ceremony in the Hamilton Fine Arts Center.
