CONWAY — Three Kennett High students have qualified to compete in the Educators Rising National Championships in Orlando, Fla., on June 25-29 after punching their tickets to get there with strong performances at the state competition held at Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth on March 17.
Seniors Jillian Howland and Avery Whitelaw, along with junior Sophia Mihelis, all finished in the top five in their respective competitions; however, they won’t know exactly where they finished until the annual Spring Conference, Teachapalooza, held April 11 at Plymouth State University.
