Two graduating seniors named semifinalists in U.S. Presidential Scholars Program
Beatrice Hernandez '26 and Nelson Manstein '26 advanced to the semifinalist round of the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, meaning they remain in contention to be named U.S. Presidential Scholars by the U.S. Department of Education. Only 627 graduating seniors nationwide and 25 in Florida earned a place in the semifinal round.
U.S. Presidential Scholar candidates are evaluated by an appointed commission for academic achievement, SAT/ACT scores, leadership and character with consideration given to excellence in the arts and technical fields. Later this summer, no more than 161 students will be named U.S. Presidential Scholars and will receive honorary presidential medallions.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of the President to recognize and honor some of the nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields.
