BALDWIN, NY — 52 Baldwin High School students’ hard work and strong academic performances were recognized by the 2025 College Board National Recognition Program. They all earned academic honors from the program, and 11 of these students won more than one award.

This program highlights high-achieving students from all backgrounds across the nation. With this award, students can distinguish themselves to colleges when applying, according to a release.

To be eligible for the award, students must be in 11th or 12th grade, demonstrate outstanding academic performance on College Board assessments, and maintain a cumulative GPA of a 3.3 or higher, amongst other factors. College Board lists their full requirements for eligibility online.

Baldwin High School Principal Dr. Neil Testa took a moment to congratulate not only the students, but also the teachers and community members in a release.

“Celebrating the achievement of over 50 Baldwin High School students qualifying for the 2025 College Board National Recognition Program is a moment of pride for our school district and community,” he said. “Our students consistently shine in both academics and assessments, and I want to recognize the commitment of our teachers who prepare them so effectively as well as our administrators who help put the supports in place to help these students succeed. Congratulations to each and every one of you!”
