National Merit Scholars

Congratulations to these seniors on their National Merit Scholarship (NMS) achievements! Over 1.3 million juniors across the country entered the NMS program and only 16,000 qualify as semi-finalists. Kyle Cui (3rd from left) is a semi-finalist and will continue in the competition. Terry Ma, Steven Zhao, Jacob Liu, Liam Sellers-Johnston, Shawn Xu, Sophia Park, Aveline Heryer, and Katherine Graham (not pictured) have been named Commended Students by the Nation Merit Scholarship Corporation, which means they were in the top 50,000 scorers of students who took the PSAT last fall.
