The Duke University TIP Program is a nationwide search to identify 7th graders with an exceptional academic ability.

Lehigh Acres Middle School have three students who qualified for the State Recognition Program. These students qualified based on their outstanding score on the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), which is the test taken by most juniors and seniors upon entrance to college.

The three students are Judah Bertolotti, Orfanel Fajardo and Elijah Hintz. The State Recognition Ceremony will take place in May at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
