The College Board has recognized 68 seniors from Cherry Creek School District high schools for outstanding academic achievement and performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and/or Advanced Placement exams.
The College Board's four recognition programs – National African American Recognition Program, National Hispanic Recognition Program, National Indigenous Recognition Program and National Rural and Small Town Recognition Program – award academic honors to underrepresented students. Those students must have a 3.5 grade point average or higher and must have taken the PSAT/NMSQT and scored in the top 10% by state or earned a score of 3 or higher on at least two distinct Advanced Placement exams.
This recognition aligns with the Cherry Creek School District's commitment to academic excellence and its Core Value of Growth Mindset. Congratulations to these College Board Recognition Award recipients!
