Each year, up to 161 students are named U.S. Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. Students who qualify for the U.S. Presidential Scholar competition demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, leadership, citizenship, service, and contribution to school and community. The U.S. Secretary of Education will announce all 2023 Presidential Scholar Finalists in mid-May.
