Eastport-South Manor Jr.-Sr. High School students Isabella Colon, Marissa Pelo and Ella Rodriguez are recipients of the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Award.

“We are thrilled to celebrate our students and recognize them for the great work they’ve been doing and are proud of their academic performance in the classroom and on College Board assessments like the PSAT/NMSQT 10 and Advanced Placement exams,” Principal Salvatore Alaimo said. “There’s so much that makes our students unique, and receiving this honor reinforces this as an asset for their future.”

The criteria for a National Hispanic Recognition Award includes a 3.5 GPA or higher, PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 assessment scores that are within the top 10% of assessment takers in each state or a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP exams in ninth and 10th grade, and school attendance in a rural area or small town, or identify as African American/Black, Hispanic American/Latino or Indigenous/Native.

This award is an opportunity for Isabella, Marissa and Ella to share their strong academic achievements with colleges and scholarship programs that are seeking to recruit diverse talent.

The district congratulates the students on this outstanding accomplishment and much success in their college search.
