Six Garden City High School seniors have earned academic honors from College Board’s National Recognition Program. Recipients of the National Hispanic Recognition Award are: Ana Gaztanaga, Matthew Kephart, Augustin Mingoia Murphy, Jennifer Rosado, Braden Soutar and Madeline Van Dyke. The award is a highly competitive honor presented to Hispanic/Latino high school students who have excelled academically and scored among the top-performing students on the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) and AP exams.
The College Board National Recognition Programs award academic honors to underrepresented students. The four national recognition programs include the National African American Recognition Program, National Hispanic Recognition Program, National Indigenous Recognition Program, and National Rural and Small Town Recognition Program. Students can include this academic honor in their college and scholarship applications.
