Willowbrook students awarded with academic honors from College Board National Recognition Program

Sixty-seven Willowbrook 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
