Two United High School students have been named Illinois State Scholars reports Superintendent Jeff Whitsitt:
“Landon Burns. Landon does a little bit of everything. He has previously been in our music programs. He is a golfer and a basketball player and he will run track for us. He probably is state bound in track for this year, I’m certain, but he is a top notch kid in our academic program. Last I knew Landon is going to head to Bradley and do some sort of engineering. Then our other State Scholar is Kailey Stockdale. Last I talked to Kailey, she is tussling between Illinois State and Eastern Illinois. I think it is her intent to be an instrumental music teacher. She is all over our social media for qualifying for state level bands. She is a multi instrument player. I think her main one is the trombone. She is obviously very strong academically to be an Illinois State Scholar, but she kind of majors in our music department.”
