State Proficiency Award Placings

Below is a list of the applicants who placed at the state level, their award area and the year in which they were recognized.

The year listed is always the second half of the school year.

During certain years (namely the early 1980's and 1994-1996), applicants were ranked 1-15 in the state, but this is currently not the case. State interviewees are those individuals who interviewed at the state level but were not in the top three.
