Seven University High School students were recently honored by the College Board in their National Recognition Programs.

These Trailblazers are among 62,000 students from across the country to earn academic honors from the College Board’s 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 stand out during the admissions process.
