Honor Student Luncheon
The top academic 20% of the graduating high school seniors in Wabash County are invited to an Honor Student Luncheon in an effort to fight local "brain drain," as well as provide students their first networking opportunity.  Businesses sponsor student lunches and business representatives are assigned to sit with students based on their intended college major and areas of interest.  Keynote speakers share their personal stories on leaving Wabash and coming back here to live and work in Wabash County.  Information on scholarship, internship, and employment opportunities is also shared with students.
