Wyoming Seminary Upper School recently presented 33 students with the President's Educational Excellence Award during the school's Awards Day assembly, held prior to Commencement.
The award is given to graduating seniors who 1) have attained an A- average or equivalent during their junior and senior years, and 2) received a score (in the 11 or 12 grade) placing them at or above the 85 percentile on any nationally recognized college admissions examination, such as the SAT or ACT.
President Ronald Reagan established the award in 1983 to encourage students to achieve high academic standards by recognizing and rewarding them for academic excellence.
