College Board Honors


Energy would like to celebrate our students who have achieved national recognition.

 

Help us congratulate our two National Merit Semifinalists, Keira Boone and Zane Meyer. National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) announced the names of more than 16,000 Semifinalists the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship® award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.

 

We are also thrilled to recognize six National Merit Commended Scholars: Maxwell Evans, Brayden Friedman, Addison Millis, Sophie Morita, Chloe Phan, Rishab Subramanya. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) selects Commended Scholars based on a national Selection Index PSAT score.

 

Finally, thirty-seven of our students earned College Board National Recognition based on their performance in the classroom and on the PSAT and Advanced Placement exams. The College Board National Recognition programs recognize first-generation, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Indigenous or Native students for their academic successes.
