The United States Senate Youth Program takes only a few students into its fold.  In Indiana, just two high schoolers make the cut.  Ishaan Modi of HSE High School was recognized Wednesday night by the Hamilton Southeastern School Board for his selection to the elite program.

Ishaan told board members what a thrill it was to meet national leaders in Washington DC.  He was very impressed with his opportunity to meet and talk with the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Roberts.

His honor brings with it a $10,000 scholarship from the Hearst Foundation.  Ishaan has a scholarship offer from Michigan State University but is still looking at all college opportunities.
