Three Lehigh Valley Charter HS for the Arts (Charter Arts) students have been selected as part of the 62,000 students from across the country to be awarded with Academic Honors from College Board National Recognition Programs.

Morgan Del Moral, 18, of Allentown (NAARA Award); Bianca Felix, 17, of Allentown (NAARA Award & NHRA Award): and Isaac Felix, 17, of Allentown (NAARA Award & NHRA Award), excelled in College Board assessments and school work to earn these awards.

Acording to the College Board, students who were eligible for these awards have earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams.

These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications which can help them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process.

Colleges and scholarship programs identify students who received National African American Recognition Awards (NAARA), National Hispanic Recognition Awards (NHRA), Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition Awards through the College Board’s Student Search Service.

“We’re thrilled that our students have earned this recognition,” said Cindy Johnson, Charter Arts’ director of school counseling. “We are very proud of them for their achievements in the classroom and on their College Board assessments.”

Charter Arts’ rigorous curriculum fosters both academic and artistic excellence for its students. The school’s impressive Future Ready PA Index ranking, Advanced Placement (AP) exam statistics, Keystone Exam statistics, SAT scores, prestigious artistic accolades, and graduation rate, are testaments to the outstanding education that Charter Arts provides.
