College Board

Congratulations to our own Khalandrea Council, who is one of 62,000 students from across the country to earn academic honors from the College Board’s 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 stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs use these honors to identify students from underrepresented groups through College Board’s Student Search Service.

Khalandrea Council, senior at Valdosta Early College Academy serves as an AVID mathematics tutor and is an aspiring writer who is currently working on a novel. Additionally, Khalandrea is a proud 2021 member of the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS), promoting education in her community. The former swimmer plans on pursuing a career in mathematics. CONGRATULATIONS Khalandrea!
