Five Lamar CISD students have been named National Hispanic Scholars.

George Ranch High School’s Alesondra Cruz and Katy Rodriguez, and Foster High School’s Devin Lemaster and Joseph Saad and Terry High School’s Greg Alvarez all qualified for the program.

The National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) identifies academically outstanding Hispanic/Latino high school students. Each year, the NHRP honors about 5,000 of the highest-scoring students from more than 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT®. These students are from the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Mariana Islands and the Marshall Islands, as well as U.S. citizens attending schools abroad. 

Although the NHRP does not provide a financial reward, being named is an important academic recognition, and this achievement should be indicated on your college applications. NHRP is proud to honor outstanding students and make this information available to subscribing colleges and universities that are particularly interested in communicating with academically exceptional Hispanic/Latino students.
