Introducing the 2024 Academic All-State honorees
These are Iowa’s best and brightest students, the next generation of leaders.
Each year, Des Moines Register editors ask Iowa school officials to nominate seniors for Academic All-State recognition. Each school selects one graduating senior who stands out among his or her peers for achievements in academics, community involvement and leadership.
The students share reflections on their past achievements and thoughts on their futures. Register editors then chose 10 “outstanding students” from the entire state to feature here.
Editors also chose five more students from each of five geographical regions to highlight. We also publish the names of all students selected by their school officials.
