Greenville Technical Charter High School (GTCHS) students awarded with academic honors from College Board National Recognition Programs
November 8, 2021GTCHS students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service. GTCHS is proud to recognize the following students awarded with these academic honors:
National African-American Recognition awarded to Stephen Sartor
National Hispanic Recognition awarded to Frances Gonzalez Gimenez and Samuel Giraldo-Franco
“These students exemplify the diversity and excellence that GTCHS is known for. I couldn’t be more proud of them,” said Mary Nell Anthony, GTCHS Principal.
Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
“By awarding students who excel academically with honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs, our aim is to create pathways to college for underrepresented students,” said Steve Bumbaugh, College Board senior vice president of College & Career Access. “We hope this inspires many more students to work toward this recognition.
