TJ High School Student Makes USA Today’s All-USA High School Academic First Team

The team of 20 was selected by a panel of judges from 1,606 nominees nationwide.

Divya was one of three first team members who won the Siemens Award for Advanced Placement, given annually to 24 students scoring the highest on the most Advanced Placement tests. She was the top-scoring girl in the country.

The students making the first team will each receive a trophy and $2,500 cash award.

"These students are truly an example of outstanding scholarship, intellectual achievement and leadership. We are proud to recognize these exceptional students who inspire us all," said USA Today editor Ken Paulson.

Outstanding individual scholarship or intellectual achievement, and leadership roles in activities on or off campus were the most important criteria to the judges. Students also were judged on academic performance, honors, awards, rigor of academic pursuits and the ability to express themselves in writing.
