School Celebration, Stillman Valley High School Stillman Valley High School students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service. SVHS Seniors Philip Broski, Sophia Morrison and Nick Youman have earned the honor of Rural/Small Town Recognition Award by the College Board National Recognition Program. “We are honored to celebrate Philip, Sophia, and Nicholas for earning this exemplary recognition. We are very proud of them for their achievements in the classroom and on College Board assessments,” said SVHS Principal, Leslie Showers, “Recognition of this caliber is yet another reason why these students will stand out to elite universities during admissions.”
