One senior from each of Ohio’s eighty-eight counties receives this prestigious honor each year. Recipients are selected by virtue of their academic achievement, personal accomplishments and community service. The award bears the name of Dr. Franklin B. Walter, who served as Ohio State Superintendent from 1977-1991.
