Riverbend Students Awarded with Academic Honors from College Board National Recognition Programs

Riverbend students excelled in College Board assessments and schoolwork to earn these awards, which colleges use to identify academically competitive underrepresented students

RHS students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process.
