Swainsboro High School students awarded with Academic Honors from College Board National Recognition Program

Four SHS students were awarded by the College Board for their strong performance in school and on assessments through the National Recognition Program. This honor recognizes first-generation students, in addition to rural and small town, Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic/or Latino students. The program opens college access for more students because many institutions use the awards for their recruitment efforts.

Jakayla Coleman received the African American recognition, Kylee Farley received the Rural/Small Town recognition, TyKerria Phillips received the First Generation and Rural recognitions, and Kimberly Vazquez-Duque received the First Generation, Hispanic, and Rural/Small Town recognitions.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate our students and recognize them for the great work they’ve been doing. We’re proud of their strong academic performance in the classroom and on College Board assessments,” said Angela Hooks, College & Career Coach. “There’s so much that makes our students unique, and this honor reinforces their individuality and achievements as assets for their future.”

Every year, students can verify their eligibility on BigFuture® during their sophomore or junior year. At the start of the next school year, students receive their awards for their communities to celebrate them and colleges to recruit them as they head back to school for their junior or senior year. Thousands of nonprofit colleges and organizations using College Board’s Student Search Service™ can connect with awardees during the recruitment process to share more about their postsecondary programs.
