Congratulations to our own Kaiser Cats, who are one of 62,000 students from across the country to earn academic honors from the College Board’s National Recognition Programs! These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs use these honors to identify students from underrepresented groups through College Board’s Student Search Service.

Each Kaiser student listed below has been recognized for the National Hispanic Recognition Award. Students were asked what school they hope to attend and what major they are planning on.

The following students, Alexandra Rodriguez, Dyllan Odegaard, Marcel De Kerpel, Sebastian Orozco, David Valenzuela, Isaac Lomeli, Sebastian Bello-Caballero, Jose Morales Moya, and Emily Lara all earned this recognition by excelling on their PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or AP Exams and in their classrooms. Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or 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 beginning of the next school year.
