La Lumiere School Announces 2024-25 Illinois State Scholar

Dear La Lumiere Community,

La Lumiere School’s Head of School, Andy Webster, is pleased to announce that one student from the La Lumiere graduating class of 2024 has been designated as an Illinois State Scholar. The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state’s college access and financial aid agency, presents this important recognition of academic achievement to exceptional Illinois high school students annually. This year, nearly 16,700 honorees join the other outstanding students who have been honored since the designation was first introduced in 1958.

The following La Lumiere student was named 2024-25 Illinois State Scholar: Jackie Eberspecher, Hinsdale, IL.

“Jackie has always taken the most ambitious and rigorous courses available to her. She is a true scholar with a constant work ethic and an insightful mind,” Webster remarked.

“On behalf of ISAC, congratulations to all our Illinois State Scholars for their extraordinary academic achievements,” said ISAC Executive Director Eric Zarnikow. “These high school seniors managed through the personal and learning challenges of the pandemic for several years of high school, and their accomplishments reflect their passion and dedication to academic pursuits. We also want to acknowledge and thank families, counselors, educators, mentors, and communities for their encouragement and often invaluable support in helping students along each step of their educational path.”
