Mineola High School senior Claudia Serna has been named a scholar in the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program, designed to recognize outstanding academic achievement among Hispanic and Latino high school students.
The program recognizes 5,000 academically outstanding students of Hispanic and Latino origin each year. Qualification for recognition as a scholar is based on the student’s combined math, verbal and writing skill scores on the PSAT/NMSQT taken in his or her junior year of high school, as well as a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Students who earn this designation have scored in the top 2.5 percent among Hispanic and Latino test takers in the region.
