This year, 79 students attending 27 schools in the Archdiocese of Louisville have been recognized by the Duke Talent Identification Program (TIP).
TIP identifies academically talented seventh-graders in public, nonpublic and home schools. Recognition is based on students’ scores on the SAT or ACT college entrance exams. Students may receive grand recognition (the highest scores) or state recognition.
Nine students received grand recognition. They are: Matthew Rice, St. Joseph School in Bardstown, Ky.; Chase Hubbuch, St. Aloysius School in Pewee Valley, Ky.; Bennett Haara, St. Patrick School; Lauren Land, St. Agnes School; Maia Kuehne-Seeber, St. Francis of Assisi School; Ian Diakov, Our Lady of Lourdes School; Abigail Rutledge, St. Mary Academy; Mary Lane, St. Albert the Great School; and Owen Estes, St. Margaret Mary School.
Grand recognition winners are invited to attend a ceremony later this spring at Duke University in Durham, N.C., and also to take part in a summer program at Duke.
A ceremony for those who received state recognition will take place in Kentucky later this spring.
