B-L High School Student Receives Academic Honor from College Board National Recognition Programs

Congratulations to Batesburg-Leesville High School senior Andrew Hall on earning academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These programs celebrate students' hard work in high school and showcase their strong academic performance. Specifically, Andrew received the National Rural and Small Town Award (NRSTA). The criteria for the award included:

  • GPA of 3.5 or higher.
  • PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 assessment scores that are within the top 10% of assessment takers in each state for each award program or earned a score of 3 or higher on 2 or more AP Exams in 9th and 10th grade. 
  • Attend school in a rural area or small town.

Eligible students are invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year and are awarded at the start of the next school year in time to share their achievements in high school as they plan for the future. At the same time, colleges and organizations using College Board’s Student Search Service can connect directly with awardees during the recruitment process.

Congrats Andrew!
