NHS Students Win Top in USA Awards
Two students from Newark High School’s
Cambridge Program have received top results
in recent examinations, winning prestigious
Top In USA Awards from University of
Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
Megan Rise received the award for
Environmental Management and Andre Marianiello received the award for
Additional Mathematics. The awards were
presented in recognition for their
outstanding performance on the June 2009
examinations.
Rise and Marianiello have won Top in USA
awards for achieving the highest result in
the country in their subject matter. The
Top in USA award is a category in CIE’s
Brilliance in USA award program which
commends students who have excelled in their
Cambridge IGCSE and / or International AS
and A Level examinations. The Cambridge
IGCSE is the world’s most popular
international qualification for 14 to 16
year olds and, together with Cambridge
International A and AS Levels, is recognized
around the world as proof of academic
achievement. As part of the Brilliance in
USA award program, students will receive a
certificate from CIE.
The Cambridge Program at Newark High School
was implemented four years ago to meet the
needs of academically gifted students
interested in a college preparatory program
that combines rigorous coursework and
independent research.
