Seven Geneva High School students earned academic honors from the College Board National Rural and Small Town Recognition Program. The program celebrates the hard work of thousands of high school students nationwide to help them showcase their strong academic performance.
GHS recipients were Sophie Augustine, Rendell Belanger Curren, Emily DeBolt, Strummer Dunn, Evan Lin, Eliot Mauer, and Loretta Norwalk.
Eligible students must meet the following criteria to qualify:
- Earn a GPA of B+ (equal to at least 3.3 or 87%-89%) or higher.
- PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 assessment scores that are within the top 10% of assessment takers in each state for each award program or earned a score of 3 or higher on 2 or more AP Exams by the end of 10th grade.
- Attend school in a rural area or small town.
“This year, the National Recognition Programs are recognizing more students than ever so that the outstanding academic abilities of more than 90,000 deserving students are not overlooked as they plan for their future,” said Amy Reitz, senior vice president of BigFuture at College Board. “We’re proud to support colleges and universities that are committed to supporting all students, and our program offers one way they can strengthen their recruitment efforts to students that will thrive on their campus.”
