Irvington Senior Named 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholar

• Bookmarks: 41


May 18, 2022

Once again, Irvington High School senior Brooke Dunefsky has been cited for her achievements in science. Having already been recognized in the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Science Talent Search, and more recently as a semifinalist for 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholar honors, she has now been named as one of 161 students to receive recognition as a Presidential Scholar — one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.

Established in 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program recognizes and honors some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Students are selected for their accomplishments in many areas, including academics, visual, literary and performing arts, as well as accomplishments in career and technical educational fields.

The Presidential Scholars Class of 2022 will be honored for their outstanding achievement this summer with an online recognition program.
