Academics - North Carolina Academic Scholars Recognition

In March 1983, the State Board of Education initiated the North Carolina Scholars Program. In March 1990, it was revised and redesignated the North Carolina Academic Scholars Program. Again in August 2002, the Sate Board of Education revised program requirements to be more consistent with graduation requirements and to promote rigorous academic study. Students who complete the requirements for this academically challenging high school program are named North Carolina Academic Scholars and receive special recognition at graduation.
