Herricks seniors Ashley Lam and Jeylin Lee were recently named on behalf of the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars and the United States Department of Education as candidates for the United States Presidential Scholars Program. Students are chosen for outstanding performance based on their ACT assessment or the College Board SAT tests.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of the President to recognize and honor some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.
