From staff reports
John Paul II Catholic School junior Nathaniel Prado has received the National Hispanic Recognition Award.
According to the College Board website, the National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) was initiated in 1983 to identify “outstanding Hispanic high school students and to share information about these academically well-prepared students with subscribing colleges and universities.”
In order to be eligible, students must be at least one-quarter Hispanic. Each year the NHRP identifies approximately 7,000 of the highest-scoring students from a nationwide total of 250,000 high school juniors who took the PSAT/NMSQT and designated themselves as Hispanic, as well as approximately 200 of the top scoring PAA students from Puerto Rico.
