Kaylee Kaigler and Griffin Milan

Kaylee Kaigler and Griffin Milan have been named U. S. Presidential Scholar candidates as part of an elite program founded in 1964 to recognize and honor America’s best and brightest high school seniors. Each year, up to 141 students are named as Presidential Scholars, and Griffin and Kaylee were two of only 9 students from Dallas to make the initial cut. No students from Richardson were selected, but Griffin and Kaylee will represent LH among students from St. Mark’s, Hockaday, ESD, Greenhill and Highland Park.

Congratulations, Wildcats, and good luck!
