Friday morning in the Parent Center, we recognized a group of students who achieved academic excellence on a national and/or state level.

We recognized 6 students who earned a National Recognition Award from the College Board for meeting the following criteria:

A. Score in the top 10% on the PSAT or earning a score of 3 or higher on two distinct AP exams

B. Have a 3.5 GPA or higher at the time of applying for recognition

C. Identify as African American, Hispanic American, Indigenous, or attend high school in a rural area or small town.

We recognized 4 students who earned a perfect score on the CAASPP ( one of the students earned a perfect score on both!)

One student, Isabel Schmunk, earned the recognition as a National Merit Semifinalist Scholar (only 16,000 students in the entire country earned this recognition, including 4 students in Bakersfield)

The names of the students are listed below
