Congratulations to the following seniors for their hard work and recognition as Commended National Merit Students:

  • Milan Mahesh
  • Isha Mohapatra
  • Julia Reed
  • Amol Sanghera
  • Michael Schellenberg

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2019 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, commended students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2019 competition by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

A spokesperson for NMSC commented, “The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success. These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this  recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
