Doniphan West student Judd Prawl earned an exceptionally high score on his Microsoft Office Specialist exam, earning the title of Kansas State Champion in Microsoft PowerPoint (Microsoft 365 Apps).
In June, Judd proudly represented Kansas at the 2025 Microsoft Office Specialist U.S. National Championship in Dallas, Texas, where he competed against the nation’s top students for scholarships, prizes, and the opportunity to advance to the World Championship.
Judd prepared for the exam as part of the curriculum in the Advanced Computer Applications class, taught by Mrs. Jodi Leatherman. Students who take the MOS Certification exams can opt in at the time of their 50-minute production test to be contestants at the state level. Judd is the second student from Doniphan West High School to place high enough to qualify as a national contender.
He is the son of Jeremy and Christina Prawl and will be a senior at Doniphan West this year.
