The College Board, which administers the PSAT and SAT, recognizes academic excellence through its National Recognition Programs.
"Having our students recognized by College Board illustrates that the education students are getting at THS fits the District's first Guiding Pillar - 'Expect staff to deliver and students to engage in rigorous instruction for high student achievement,'" shared Dr. Melanie Magee, Deputy Superintendent of Student Achievement. "We would not be able to recognize these students without the effort it took for the campus to provide the PSAT opportunity for our sophomores. We look forward to more students reaching these levels as we expand the testing to juniors as well.
Students selected for this prestigious honor can cite it on their college and scholarship applications. In turn, colleges use the listing of this honor as a way of identifying students from underrepresented groups who have excelled on their PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or AP Exams and in their classwork.
