The application requirements included a review of their involvement within their respective schools. They also had to describe the impact the IB program has had on their lives.

This year, TIBS reviewed 67 applications. Three of Eisenhower High School seniors were named top 10 finalists. They were Brian Nguyen, Loc Nguyen and Anh Luu.

Bobby Mansour is proud of the students. Mansour is the IB coordinator at the campus.

“These students have worked hard through their academic careers to achieve success,” said Mansour. “I am thrilled for them and wish them well as they head to college.“
