CONWAY — Five Kennett High students have qualified to compete in Educators Rising National Championships in Washington, D.C. in June after punching their tickets to get there with strong performances at the state competition at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester on March 11.
Seniors Katie Brooks, Taylor Garland and Jocelyn Henry along with junior Remi Snowdon and sophomore Ivy Zipf each finished in the top five in their respective competitions at states to earn their way to nationals at the end of June. None of the five knows where they finished in the state tournament. They’ll learn that on April 8 when they attend a ceremony at Plymouth State University.
