“We are proud to highlight 32 young men who continue to excel academically,” said Veronica Guzman Pulido, Al G. Hill ’63 Director of College Counseling. “While being active participants in our community, these students also achieved the designation to be counted among a select number of students nationally for their diligence and preparation in standardized testing.”
