North High Student Named 2014-15 National Hispanic Recognition Scholar

North High student Michael Rivera has been recognized as a 2014-15 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) award recipient. For the program, the College Board identifies academically outstanding Hispanic/Latino high school students.

Each year, the NHRP honors about 5,000 of the highest-scoring students from over 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT. These students are from the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Mariana Islands, and the Marshall Islands, as well as U.S. citizens attending schools abroad.

“Michael is a very deserving recipient of this award,” says North High Principal Scott Kasik. “Not only does he excel academically, but he also is a terrific role model for all of our students, as he’s serving as a Positively North Stars student leader this year.”
