Congratulations to Adrián Bernier, Maren Besser, Ana Carola Cintrón, Aren Finelt, Alejandro Gierbolini, Isabella Lopez-Torres, Eduardo Pereyó, Alejandro Rodriguez, Cecilia Rodríguez, Mardi Roques, Juan Pablo Torres, Emilia Velasco, Cyrus Wunker, and Lara Yassin, who now stand among a select group of students nationwide identified through top SAT and ACT performance and considered for one of the highest honors a high school senior can earn.
Established in 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program recognizes students whose academic achievement, leadership, and service shape their schools and communities. Up to 161 students are ultimately named Presidential Scholars each year and awarded the Presidential Scholars medallion.
