Seniors Zachary Figueroa, Benji Fine and Zoe Readi-Brown have been recognized as 2018-19 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) Scholars.
Each year, NHRP recognizes about 5,000 academically exceptional students from among the 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT).
In order to be recognized by NHRP, students must be at least one-quarter Hispanic/Latino (based on the program’s definition), achieve a minimum PSAT/NMSQT score for their region, and earn a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher by the middle of their junior year.
