Redmond High School senior Arjun Narayanan has been named a 2011 Washington Scholar.

Washington Scholars is a program that recognizes the accomplishments of three high school seniors from each of the state’s 49 legislative districts. Narayanan represents the 45th legislative district.

Eligible scholars receive state scholarships for up to four years that may be used at any Washington public or private college or university. High school principals nominate the top one percent of their school’s graduating senior class on the basis of academic achievement, leadership and community service. A committee — comprised of high school principals and college administrators — selects the top four students in each legislative district, naming three as scholars and one as a scholar alternate.

Curtis Donahoe, a senior at Lake Washington High School, was named as an alternate. Donahoe represents the 48th legislative district.
