Future doctors, aerospace engineers, climate change experts round out Kansas' All-State Academic Team
Their high school careers have been characterized by the pandemic, but their futures won’t be.
In the troubles and tribulations of COVID-19, they dream of the day when they will help others medically as physicians, rural surgeons and prosthetic engineers.
Humanity faces an even greater challenge in confronting climate change, but these students see opportunities to face the crisis as agricultural engineers and climate lobbyists.
When the world has felt a little meaner and more isolated, these students haven’t lost hope in each other, and they strive to only grow in their capacities as good neighbors and stewards of their communities.
They are problem solvers. They are innovators.
They are Kansans.
