Three EVSC seniors have been named a semifinalist by the National Merit Scholarship Program due to their exceptional academic promise. The following students in the EVSC have received the honor and were three out of only 16,000 students in the United States to be named a semifinalist:
· Thomas J. Boettcher, North High School
· Anna Fite, Central High School
· Daniel Patrick Miller, Reitz High School
The students received the distinction based upon scores from the 2009 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
As a semifinalist, students are only one step away from being named a finalist and in contention for thousands of dollars worth of scholarships. To advance to the finalist standing, semifinalists must continue to excel in the classroom and receive a high score on the SAT. Semifinalists will be notified in February if they have been named a finalist.
