For the first time, these academic honors recognize not only rural and small-town students but also first-generation students, as well as those who identify as Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, or Latino. This program is instrumental in increasing college access, as many institutions utilize these awards in their recruitment efforts.
“We are thrilled to celebrate our students and recognize their outstanding achievements,” said TVHS Principal Brandon Kresca. “We take immense pride in their dedication and strong academic performance, both in the classroom and on College Board assessments such as the PSAT, SAT, and AP Exams. Each of our students brings something unique to our school community, and these honors highlight their individuality and the strengths they will carry into their future endeavors.”
To qualify for these prestigious awards, students must meet the following criteria:
• Maintain a GPA of B+ (equal to at least 3.3 or 87%-89%) or higher.
• Achieve PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 assessment scores within the top 10% of test-takers in each state for each award program or earn a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams by the end of 10th grade.
• Attend school in a rural area or small town, or identify as African American/Black, Hispanic American/Latino, Indigenous/Native American, or a first-generation college student.
