“It’s becoming increasingly hard for students to be ‘seen’ during the college recruitment process. We’re exceptionally proud of the National Recognition Programs for celebrating students who are at times overlooked but have shown their outstanding academic abilities,” said Tarlin Ray, senior vice president of BigFuture® at College Board. “This is a benefit not only for students but also for colleges and universities committed to recruiting diverse and talented students.”
“Congratulations to our award recipients!” shares Mrs. Maria Cuomo, Assistant Principal at Molloy. She continues, “This recognition affirms the hard work and dedication of our students and faculty. We are blessed at Molloy by our diverse student population and take this opportunity to celebrate their remarkable talents and effort. This is just one reminder of how special our students are and that there are no limits to what they can and continue to achieve.”
