Grand Junction, CO – Mesa County Valley School District 51 was proud to honor a record number of Superintendent Scholars today Monday, April 25, 2022! This year, we celebrated 184 students who have earned the title of Superintendent Scholar by obtaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 4.0 throughout high school. 


The celebration was divided into a brunch from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. for Fruita Monument and Grand Junction High Schools and a luncheon from noon to 1:30 p.m. for Central and Palisade High Schools, Grand River Academy, and Mesa Valley Community School. Both events took place at Grand Junction Convention Center.


This year’s roster of 184 Superintendent Scholars beats the record set in 2020, when the district had 172 Superintendent Scholars. Last year’s Superintendent Scholars numbered 168. All scholars will receive a plaque and a photo with Superintendent Diana Sirko. This year's keynote speaker was Grand Junction High School alumni, former state senator and principal at the 76 Group Josh Penry.
