College Board honors Pinnacle Classical Academy seniors

The College Board has announced that two Pinnacle Academy seniors, Madelyn Hicks and Chesnee Stewart, have qualified for its National Recognition Programs.

Both students were recognized in the National Rural and Small Town Recognition Program, and Chesnee was also recognized in the National First-Generation Recognition Program.

"Recipients are strong academic performers," the College Board stated in its announcement of the programs. "Students who take eligible administrations of the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or AP Exams and meet the score requirements are considered for awards. Many colleges intentionally recruit awardees."

"We are so proud of the hard work of Madelyn and Chesnee," said Dr. Shelly Shope, the school's headmaster. "These incredible recognitions are also a tribute to the strength of our curriculum, the hard work of our teachers, and the support of these students' families."
