Three Lakehill seventh graders who elected to take the SAT or ACT as part of the Duke University Seventh Grade Talent Search recently received State Recognition, with one student qualifying for Grand Recognition.

Lakehill congratulates Addison Baum, Niamh McKinney, and Stella Palmer for their outstanding achievements. All three students received state recognition. Additionally, Niamh received Grand Recognition, the highest honor in the program.

The Duke University Seventh Grade Talent Search identifies academically talented seventh graders based on their standardized test scores. Candidates are then invited to complete either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Assessment college entrance examination. The goal is to provide them with information about their abilities while introducing them to a network of services and enrichment programs.

These three Lakehill students will be honored on May 30 at a Duke University Talent Identification Program (TIP) State Recognition Ceremony at the University of North Texas. They have also been invited to participate in a Duke TIP Summer Program. Niamh has also been invited to a Grand Recognition ceremony on May 18 at the Duke University campus.
