Congratulations to our National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists
Congratulations to Anna Goblirsch and Daniel "Mac" Hughey! They have been named National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
