Addison Trail students awarded with academic honors from College Board National Recognition Program

Forty Addison Trail students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program.

The program awards academic honors to high-performing students every year and helps them stand out on college and scholarship applications. This recognition is based on student achievement on College Board assessments, including the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10 and AP® Exams. The awards serve as a signal for colleges eager to recruit honorees and as an opportunity for communities to celebrate students as they start a new school year.

Students verify their eligibility during their sophomore or junior year by meeting the following criteria:

  • Take the PSAT/NMSQT (10th, 11th), PSAT 10 (10th) and/or AP Exams (by the end of 10th)

  • Earn a cumulative GPA of B+ or higher (at least 3.3 or 87% to 89%) by the time of submission)

  • Be one of the top 10% of test-takers in their high school, among first-generation college students in their state and/or among rural and small-town students in their state, OR earn a 3+ on two or more distinct AP Exams in 8th, 9th and/or 10th grade
