Student named Scholar by National Hispanic Recognition Program

Noelle San Miguel, senior at Weatherford High School, has been recognized as a Scholar by the College Board's National Hispanic Recognition Program. 

The National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP), established in 1983, is a College Board program that provides national recognition of the exceptional academic achievements of Hispanic high school seniors and identifies them for postsecondary institutions.   

Students enter the program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) as high school juniors and by identifying themselves as Hispanic.  For more than 150,000 students nationwide, approximately 4,500 of the highest scoring students were initially identified.  Based on further evidence of their academic achievements, a select group of 4,800 students have been recognized by the program as a Scholar or Honorable Mention Finalist.

During the November 10 meeting, San Miguel was honored by the Board of Trustees for her outstanding achievements on this nationally ranked test.
