Four Seniors Named Candidates for U.S. Presidential Scholars Program
Seniors Henry Breen, Coco Goldenberg, Lance Moore, and Oliver Parsi have been nominated for the 2025 United States Presidential Scholars Program by the U. S. Department of Education.
This auspicious award recognizes the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors for their broad academic achievement, personal characteristics, leadership, and service. Approximately 5,000 candidates are nominated based on exceptional SAT and ACT scores. Approximately 500 will be named semifinalists, and in April, the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars will select up to 161 Scholars from across the United States. The winners will enjoy an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., where they will be awarded the Presidential Scholars Medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House.
