In a celebration of academic achievement, Sheridan High School has announced that three of its students have received national recognition through the College Board National Recognition Programs.
(Eliana) Pearl Henderson, Liberty Coyle-Paddack, and Robert Bowen have been awarded the National Rural and Small Town Award. This award is given to students with a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher and PSAT scores that are within the top 10 percent of assessment takers in each state.
“I could not be more proud of these students, Sheridan High School Principal Rick Davis said. “This achievement is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and intellectual prowess. SHS is committed to providing a quality and rigorous education that prepares our students not only for academic success but also for the challenges of the real world. This recognition highlights the collective efforts of our educators, staff, and the supportive community.”
College Board National Recognition Programs have long been a platform to honor students who exhibit exceptional academic performance. They recognize the dedicated efforts of students, enabling them to shine in the eyes of colleges and scholarship programs.
Tarlin Ray, Senior Vice President of BigFuture at College Board, emphasized the significance of these awards in the broader context of education.
“The National Recognition Programs not only celebrate the brilliance of often overlooked students but also provide colleges and universities a platform to discover diverse talents that can enrich their campuses,” Ray said.
Sheridan Community Schools Superintendent Dave Mundy added his congratulations to Henderson, Coyle-Paddack, and Bowen, saying, “I am so proud of these students. We have so many students excelling at such an incredibly high level right now; it’s great to see recognition given to these students for their continued hard work and effort. We are very proud of all our Blackhawks!”
