22 MCPS Seventh Grade Students Qualify for Duke Tips Program





Twenty-two Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School Middle School students qualify for the Duke Tips program. The largest program of its kind, participants in the Duke TIP 7th Grade Talent Search identify academic strengths, develop abilities and interests, and celebrate their achievements at a crucial time when they are forming their identities and looking ahead to the future. TIP assists families in determining how advanced their students’ academic abilities are and what level of educational challenge is appropriate.

As part of the talent search enrollment, Duke TIP registers eligible seventh graders to take either the ACT (no writing) or the SAT as an above-level test. This allows students to have greater insight into their abilities and it gives them the opportunity to preview a college entrance exam.

Montgomery Catholic's qualifying students are: Devan Deramus, Mitchell Dogan, Angela Gier, Patrick Hess,
Sam Leslie, Veronica Masters, Camille Morgan, Emily Riggles, Spencer Bach, Carlow DeJesus, Grayson Howell, Joseph Schmidt, Grant Smith, Eli Starrett, Aidan Cochran, Emma Garrison, Cecilia Hoffpauir, Adam McClellan, James Saliba, Mai Ellington, Aidan Losik and Rachel Rodriguez. Congratulations!
