Three North Carolina students – two from the N.C. School of Science and Math in Durham and one from Asheboro High School – have been named 2019 Presidential Scholars by the U.S. Department of Education.

Of the approximately 3.6 million U.S. students expected to graduate from high school this year, only 5,200 qualified for the award, and just 161 students across the country were selected.
