EDMONTON, Ky.  – Metcalfe County High School has announced two students have been selected for the 2025 Rogers Scholars Program.

According to the district, HarperAnn Hurt and Madelyn-Grace Wright will attend weeklong programs at Kentucky colleges this summer that will focus on developing skills in leadership, technology, entrepreneurship and community service.
