Tolbert selected as a Presidential Scholar

Homewood High School student Jessica Tolbert was selected as a candidate for the United States Presidential Scholars Program.  

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of the president to recognize and honor some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. Each year, up to 141 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.
