ISI is proud to celebrate the achievements of its students who earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Program.

The program, available on BigFuture®, helps students stand out on college and scholarship applications. Every year, talented students claim an award based on their achievement on College Board assessments, including the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and AP® Exams.

In 2025, the program offered three awards to students of all backgrounds and across schools nationwide: FirstGeneration Recognition Award, Rural and Small-Town Recognition Award, and, for the first time, the School Recognition Award, to honor top-performing students in every high school, including lesser-known schools.

This year, six ISI students were awarded. Congratulations to Jules Dassonville, Isabela Gonzalez Knarr, Michael Kreutz, Léo-Paul Perrin, Isaac Pleasure-Kranowitz, and Kadin Doles (not pictured)!

Students verify their eligibility during their sophomore or junior year by meeting the following criteria:
Take the PSAT/NMSQT (10th, 11th), PSAT 10 (10th), and/or AP Exams (by the end of 10th).
Earn a cumulative GPA of B+ or higher (at least 3.3 or 87%-89%) by the time of submission.
Be one of the top 10% of test takers in their high school, among first-generation college students in their state, and/or among rural and small-town students in their state, OR earn a 3+ on 2 or more distinct AP Exams in the 8th, 9th, and/or 10th grade.

The recognition serves as a signal for colleges eager to recruit awardees and as an opportunity for communities to celebrate students as they start a new school year. Thousands of nonprofit colleges and scholarship organizations using the College Board Student Search Service™ can connect with awardees during the recruitment process to share more about their postsecondary programs.

As the season came to a close, the Gryphons reflected on a year defined by more than standings and scores. “This season was defined not only by results, but by the friendships, growth, and memories our team created together,” Bougher said. The team's commitment to one another, combined with their on-court development, made the 2026 season one to remember.
