Comsewogue Student Honored by National Hispanic Recognition Program

Christian Patrizio from Comsewogue High School is one of 5,000 students in the U.S. and its territories with test scores high enough to be honored by the National Hispanic Recognition Program.

Comsewogue High School senior Christian Patrizio was honored by the National Hispanic Recognition Program, an organization that identifies academically outstanding Hispanic/Latino high school students, according to the school district's website.

The National Hispanic Recognition Program honors almost 5,000 of the highest-scoring students from about 235,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Mariana Islands and the Marshall Islands, as well as U.S. citizens attending schools abroad, who take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

There is no financial reward but the school said in a statement on the website that "...being named is an important academic recognition, and this achievement should be indicated on your college applications."
