National Merit Scholarship Program
Seven EVSC seniors have been named a Commended Student by the National Merit Scholarship Program due to their exceptional academic promise. The following students in the EVSC have received the honor and were recognized as being among the top five percent of students in the nation:
· Madeline Bogan, Reitz High School
· Laura Chamness, Reitz High School
· Brittany A. Hoover, North High School
· Bailey M. Johnson, North High School
· Taleah Slack, Reitz High School
· Samuel Tadros, Reitz High School
· Tanner L. Vincent, North High School
High school students across the country receive the Commended Student distinction based upon scores from the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Only about 34,000 students are recognized each year as Commended Students out of 1.5 million who enter the competition by taking the PSAT/NMSQT.
Although Commended Students do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some of these students do become candidates for special scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
