Dear Freshman Parents,
Thank you so much for your help and support during our Freshman Retreat days. We are grateful for your donations, your time, and most importantly, your prayers.
We pray that these days of fellowship, joy, and faith-sharing bring our students closer to Christ, strengthen their bonds with one another, and remind them that they are part of a faith-filled community that loves and supports them.
With gratitude,
Ms. Alban

NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP CORPORATION COMMENDED STUDENTS ANNOUNCEMENT
Last October, students entered the National Merit Scholarship Program, a nationwide competition for recognition and awards conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), by taking the 2024 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
In April, NMSC identified the 50,000 highest scorers and from this pool, 34,000 high performers are now being named Commended Students based on a national Selection Index score of 210, applicable to all program participants without regard to state-by-state distribution.
In recognition of this achievement, Antonian College Preparatory High School is proud to present Letters of Commendation to three senior students who have been named as Commended Students in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program. Commended Students are being recognized for the exceptional academic promise demonstrated by their outstanding performance on the qualifying test used for program entry.
Please join us in congratulating:
Carson Cota, Isabella De Los Santos, and Joseph Gonzales
