Did You Know…?

By |Published On: March 28, 2023|

Did you know? Class of 2000 State College Area High School alum Kendra Westerhaus was recently a contestant on Jeopardy! Over three games, she correctly answered 50 of the 55 questions she buzzed in on, 4 out of 5 Daily Doubles, and all three Final Jeopardy questions. (State High’s had a positive reputation for decades, and with its current rank within the top 8% of public high schools nationally, we’re not surprised to see our alumni out there being impressive!)

Winning close to $50,000, Kendra and her husband plan to make a trip to Greece for a belated honeymoon. We’ll take “That’s Really Cool” for $1,000, please!

Laura Mustio made her way to State College via Pittsburgh in 2015. Her writing celebrates our area’s hidden gems, treasured locals, and not-to-be-missed experiences.
