The Top Scholar Awards Program was initiated by the ESC of Medina County in 2007 by then Superintendent William Koran as a way to honor the best and the brightest in Medina County. The program has evolved into an annual award where each school district submits a student who meets the criteria for the award and, in turn, the student award winner provides a nomination for a staff member who inspired them throughout their educational career. This year we honored those recipients at the 18th Annual Medina County Top Scholars Recognition Dinner held April 15, 2024 at the Medina County Career Center.
Award recipients are:
| District | Top Scholar Award | Inspiration Award |
| Black River Local Schools | Riley Kubitz | Rachel Strader |
| Brunswick City Schools | Austin Kennedy | Heather Klein |
| Buckeye Local Schools | Madelyn Kost | George Seese |
| Cloverleaf Local Schools | Emma Bazemore | Julie Krueger |
| Highland Local Schools | Kelly Lewis | Charles Franchetti |
| Medina City Schools | Vivian Liu | David Hamman |
| Medina County Career Center | Stephen Miller | Lorah Meech |
| Wadsworth City Schools | Brianna Stoner | Jason Jurey |
We are proud to be a part of the successful educational journey for Medina County students!
