In order to recognize exceptional students throughout the Warren County area, WBKO and WKU’s Honors College have teamed up to create the Scholar of the Week awards. Each week, WBKO features two outstanding high school students on their show and acknowledges their significant accomplishments. As of March, the following five Greenwood students have appeared and been recognized:
