Each year, the Duke University Talent Identification Program, founded in 1980, invites academically talented 7th graders to complete the ACT Assessment college entrance examination. With the results, Duke TIP then provides the participants with comparative information concerning their academic abilities and resources for unique educational opportunities. The goal is to assist young people with excellent mathematical or verbal aptitude.
This year, Ouachita Parish had forty-one students test in the Duke program. Of those, sixteen students qualified for State Recognition meaning they scored a 21 or greater in at least one subject area of the ACT. One student, Andrew Tan of Sterlington High School, qualified for Grand Recognition by scoring 28 or greater in at least one subject area. That means the student scored at or better than 90% of the juniors or seniors in high school who took the college entrance exams. This is quite an achievement!
Ouachita Parish School System congratulates all of the Duke TIP honorees. Click 'Read More' below for a complete list...
