The National Merit Scholarship program honors and shines a spotlight on academically talented students who promote a wider and deeper respect for learning. The Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, taken in the fall of a student’s junior year, serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This year, we have 7 seniors who have been commended: Stacy C., Yerin C., Ellie D., Fiona K., Iris L., Ava V., and Rebecca X. Those being named commended students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success.
