Rockwood Students Earn College Board National Recognition Awards
A total of 160 rising juniors and seniors representing all four Rockwood School District high schools combined to earn 191 awards in the College Board National Recognition program.

Eligibility for the awards program is based on students' performances on AP exams and/or the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as well as their academic performance in school courses.
