The Van Buren Chamber Education and Workforce Committee, in conjunction with the Van Buren School District, will honor Van Buren High School’s most exceptional students at its 2025 Arkansas Scholars Awards Ceremony on April 22nd.
 
Arkansas Scholars is a prestigious distinction given only to graduates who have achieved a 95% or better attendance record in their four years of high school. The students must also have a "C" or higher average and have completed all the required courses to graduate in four years. Each scholar is presented with a certificate at the ceremony and awarded a medallion at graduation.
 
The ceremony will take place at the Van Buren High School Commons and will include a special program honoring the graduates.

Career Connection will take place after the ceremony, featuring display tables for employers and universities to share career opportunities with the graduating seniors and their parents or guardians. The hours are from 7 pm until 8 pm.  

Sponsorship of this event supports scholarships presented to graduating VBHS students who will be attending University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and Arkansas Tech University - Ozark Campus this fall.
