Mayfield High School is proud to celebrate students who earned academic honors through the College Board National Recognition Program, available on bigfuture.org. This year, four MHS students were among the more than 300,000 recipients nationwide - the highest participation in the program’s history.
The four Mayfield High School students have received academic honors from the @CollegeBoard National Recognition Program for their strong grades and assessment performance. Awardees are among the highest-achieving students in their communities.
The College Board National Recognition Program consists of the following official academic awards recognizing students in all communities: First-Generation Recognition Award, Rural and Small-Town Recognition Award, and School Recognition Award.
Annabella Wilson and Eligh Burchett received the Rural and Small Town Recognition Award, First Generation Recognition Award, and School Recognition Award.
Jiahou Hou earned the Rural and Small Town Recognition Award and the School Recognition Award.
Ally Creason received the School Recognition Award.
“Our students have been recognized for their dedication and excellence, and we’re incredibly proud of them,” said Mayfield High School Principal Matt McMain.
To be eligible, 10th- and 11th-grade students must earn a cumulative GPA of B+ or higher and either score 3 or above on two or more AP Exams by the end of 10th grade. They also qualify if they’re one of the top 10% of test takers in their high school, among first-generation college students in their state, and/or among rural and small-town students in their state.
“For students across the country, the award represents more than an academic honor. It signals their achievement to colleges and scholarship programs that may not actively recruit in their communities,” said Amy Reitz, senior vice president of BigFuture at College Board. “We congratulate all students at Mayfield High School who earned an award by demonstrating exceptional academic achievement.”
