Nearly 150 Bay Area students have been selected as candidates for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, one of the country’s highest honors for graduating high school seniors.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the awards highlight “excellence in education and the promise of greatness in America’s youth.” Students are selected based on their academic achievement, including scores on the SAT or ACT exams, talent in the visual, creative and performing arts, and skills in the career and technical education fields.
These students were selected from nearly 3.6 million high school graduates across the country, and will be in the running for receiving Presidential Scholars Medallions, the final prize for the competition, this June. Each year, up to 161 students are selected to receive the final award, and are selected from a national pool of over 5,000.Claire M. Wong, The College Preparatory SchoolSa’Ar L.
