College Board’s National Recognition Programs Application
The College Board National Recognition Programs are now housed within BigFuture® and will award academic honors to top-performing Hispanic, Black, Indigenous, and rural students. The 2023 application cycle will open Wednesday, January 18. Eligible sophomores and juniors will receive an email from BigFuture inviting them to apply. Students will also be able to include high school counselor names and emails on their BigFuture Recognition applications.
Student eligibility is determined by performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, or AP® Exams. If you do not receive an invitation to apply when the application cycle opens, you can self-nominate through the College Board. Click the image to review information about these programs.
Future of IB at Richland Northeast
In 2010, the K-12 IB continuum was implemented based on an interest in a rigorous curriculum with a global perspective. Since that time, additional opportunities for students to have this experience have become available through our districtwide AVID strategies, Advanced Placement courses, and Dual Enrollment options. Richland Two will no longer offer the IB programme as a Choice option at the conclusion of the 2022-2023 school year. Students currently in the program will have an opportunity to finish at their current school level. There will also be an option to apply for another magnet program when the application window opens on December 12 and runs through January 25, 2023.
You may be asking, what does this mean for my student(s)? Richland Two will begin phasing out the IB program at the conclusion of the 2022-2023 school year. Juniors and Seniors: Richland Northeast is committed to continuing to provide services to IB Diploma track juniors and seniors. Freshmen and Sophomores: Parents of freshmen and sophomores met virtually with Principal Mark Sims about future plans and opportunities for students. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Fowler, our Assistant Principal over Instruction, by email (dfowler@richland2.org).
