DHS students earn College Board honors

Eight students from Decorah High School – Grace Blikre, Carson Bohner, Oliver Brummel, McKenzie Riley, Lily Sandhorst, Anastasia Simon, Jack Sovern, and Grant Zilka–have been selected as College Board National Recognition Program awardees.

All recipients received the National Rural and Small Town Award (NRSTA); and Zilka also received recognition in the First Generation category.

The students earned the recognition because of their academic achievements and outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and/or AP® Exams. DHS administrators said they’ve accomplished these milestones during a demanding period of their high school career.

“We’re thrilled that our students have earned this recognition. We are very proud of them for their achievements in their classrooms and on College Board assessments,” said Pat Trewin, DHS guidance counselor. “These programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during admissions. Some colleges will offer scholarships to students based on this honor.”
