The Board of School Trustees recognized several East Allen County students who have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program. The program celebrates the hard work of thousands of high school students nationwide to help them showcase their strong academic performance at colleges and universities.
For the first time, the academic honors recognize first-generation students, in addition to rural and small town, African American/Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic/or Latino students. The program opens college access for more students in many higher education institutions.
“This year, the National Recognition Programs are recognizing more students than ever so that the outstanding academic abilities of more than 90,000 deserving students are not overlooked as they plan for their future,” said Amy Reitz, senior vice president of BigFuture at College Board. “We’re proud to support colleges and universities that are committed to supporting all students, and our program offers one way they can strengthen their recruitment efforts to students that will thrive on their campus.”
