FOX 47 News is proud to be a part of the tradition of recognizing and rewarding academic excellence. We invite your school to participate in our 1st annual Brightest & Best program, which celebrates outstanding graduating high school seniors. Brightest & Best was created to heighten awareness of academic achievement, while providing encouragement and positive role models for students.
We are proud to publicly recognize Mid-Michigan high school graduates for their academic excellence. These young men and women earned their success and reached the top of their class.
Brightest and Best is sponsored by Michigan Student Aid.
More on the Brightest and Best – Class of 2024 – coming this spring!
