Rome High School has announced that 52 of its students have received academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These programs highlight students’ academic achievements and are intended to recognize underrepresented students who perform well on assessments such as the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and AP Exams.
Students eligible for these awards must demonstrate academic success in the 10th and 11th grades. The recognitions include both the School Recognition Award and the First-Generation Recognition Award, which are open to students from all backgrounds.
Rome High School Principal Parke Wilkinson stated, “Our students continue to show strong work in the classroom and on tests. Our teachers work hard to prepare our students, and our students show the knowledge they have learned through these tests. We are proud of their hard work and their achievements.”
The College Board’s National Recognition Program is designed to highlight high-achieving students nationwide, regardless of background. By receiving a National Recognition Program award, students can distinguish themselves when applying to colleges and share their accomplishments with their communities. The program also helps colleges connect with outstanding students across the country, including those from smaller or lesser-known schools.
To qualify for recognition, students must take specific assessments—such as the PSAT/NMSQT in 10th or 11th grade, PSAT 10 in 10th grade, or AP Exams by the end of 10th grade—and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least B+ (3.3 or higher). They must also be among the top 10% of test takers at their school or state level or score a three or higher on two or more distinct AP exams before finishing 10th grade.
Seven Rome High School students received First-Generation Awards while 52 earned School Recognition Awards.
