More than 180 Students Receive National Recognition

by Candace Gadomski-Emmert, Director of School Counseling

More than 180 students at Avon High School qualified for recognition in the College Board National Recognition Program. This is by far the largest number of students to earn this honor in a single academic year.

The College Board National Recognition Program awards academic honors to high-performing students within the context of their community to celebrate their hard work and be seen by colleges. Students can receive up to three award designations—School Recognition, First-Generation Recognition, and Rural/Small-Town Recognition.

Colleges use the National Recognition Program to support their recruitment strategies. The program helps colleges recruit talented students of all backgrounds and across communities.

Students are selected for this opportunity based on their exceptional performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, or AP® Exams. It only takes about 5 minutes for students to verify eligibility by sharing their GPA and confirming they meet all award criteria. All students who meet the eligibility criteria will receive an award.

Congratulations, students!
