Prince of Peace Catholic School student honored for high SAT Scores
A student at Prince of Peace Catholic School was invited to the 2019 South Carolina Recognition Ceremony honoring students in the 7th Grade Talent Search with high SAT scores. This ceremony was sponsored by the Duke Talent Identification Program and held at Furman University. Christopher was also awarded a medal at this ceremony for being named a 2018 PSAT 8/9 Honoree for his 6th grade test scores.
Each year, a select group of students in the United States are identified as academically gifted based on their exceptional standardized test scores in school and are invited to participate in the TIP program. Only students scoring in the 95th percentile or better on standardized tests qualify. Participants are then invited to take the above-grade level ACT or SAT tests designed for college-bound tenth and eleventh graders so that their academic abilities and potential can be more accurately evaluated. They also receive a variety of support services and gain access to research and other information about using their academic abilities more effectively.
The Duke University Talent Identification Program is a nonprofit educational organization that is recognized as a leader in identifying and serving the educational needs of academically gifted youth. Through identification, recognition, challenging educational programs, information, advocacy and research, Duke TIP provides resources to gifted students, their parents, educators, and schools to help gifted scholars reach their full academic potential. For more on Duke TIP talent searches, including qualification requirements for its 4th-6th Grade Talent Search and 7th Grade Talent Search, visit www.tip.duke.edu.
