all three that you listed are definitely great to put down. (honor roll might be a little redundant since they wil see your grades)
here;s what I put for your reference:
Alexander Hamilton National Citizenship Award Gold Winner, National Merit, member of Ohio Team for ARML national math contest, top scorer on OCTM Ohio math contest - qualify for OHMIO, American Math Contest school winner, essay published in Ohio Association for Gifted Children Review, Winner of “Imagine If” essay contest, Honda-OSU Math Medal, AP Scholar, Wright State University High School Poetry Contest Runner-up
the thing I don’t like is how they limit it to academic honors.
most people (except the people on this forum) will have very little to put here
