Three seniors named U.S. Presidential Scholar candidates
Andrew Gedde '25, Vicky Pinilla '25 and Solon Sun '25 were selected as candidates for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, earning one of the most significant honors bestowed on graduating high school seniors. The U.S. Department of Education invited Gedde, Pinilla, Sun and some 5,000 other U.S. students to contend for 161 U.S. Presidential Scholar recognitions that will be awarded this spring.
The candidates won selection on the basis of excellent SAT or ACT scores or the recommendation of a state education official; they were chosen from among some 3.6 million students nationwide. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by Executive Order of the President to recognize some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating seniors for their accomplishments in many areas: academic success, leadership and service to school and community.
A panel of educators will review applications and select approximately 600 semifinalists in early April. The Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of up to 32 citizens appointed by the President, will select the finalists, and the U.S. Department of Education will announce the scholars in May.
