Huntsville, Texas – Huntsville 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 in their college and scholarship applications. Receiving recognition means they are a top-performing student. Students can explore their options and form meaningful connections with colleges helping them 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.
Cooper Hooks, National Rural and Small Town Award
“We’re thrilled that Cooper has earned this recognition. We are very proud of him for his achievements in the classroom and on College Board assessments,” said Paul M. Trevino, Principal. “These programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during the admissions process.”
In recognition of his outstanding achievement, Cooper will be honored at a special recognition at the Huntsville ISD Regularly Scheduled School Board Meeting in March. This accomplishment not only reflects Cooper’s exceptional abilities but also underscores the high standard of academic excellence upheld by Huntsville High School.
Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latino, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
Eligible students will be invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year and will be awarded at the beginning of the next school year. Students will receive their awards in time to include them on their college and scholarship applications.
“We want to honor the hard work of these students through the College Board National Recognition Programs. This program creates a way for colleges and scholarship programs to connect directly with underrepresented students who they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of BigFuture. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor and it helps them plan for their big future.”

HISD has been monitoring the inclement weather forecasts for our immediate area. A low of 19* is predicted tonight with patchy ice on the roads that will not thaw by morning. Dangerous wind chill of 6* is expected when our students would be waiting for morning bus routes. Due to these sub freezing temperatures and potential for icy/hazardous road conditions, we have decided to CLOSE school tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16, 2024. All extracurricular activities are also canceled.
Roads are expected to clear tomorrow afternoon, so at this point we plan to return to normal operations on Wednesday. We will continue to monitor the conditions and if a change is necessary we will communicate to families as soon as a decision can be made. All updates will also be sent to parents using the mass notification system as well as posted on the district website (www.huntsville-isd.org) and social media pages.
