A total of 106 students from the Irving Independent School District (ISD) have been recognized by the College Board National Recognition Programs for their outstanding academic achievements. This year’s honors include the inaugural National First-Generation Recognition Program, which acknowledges students who are the first in their families to attend college, as well as students from rural or small-town areas, and those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or Hispanic/Latino.
The criteria for the honors include maintaining a GPA of B+ or higher, achieving top scores on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or scoring 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams by the end of 10th grade. Additionally, eligible students must attend school in a rural area or small town or identify with one of the specified demographic categories.
