Of the approximately 1.6 million students eligible for the National Merit Scholarship, less than 1% make it to the finalist stage.
Congratulations to Ben Feit, who has earned the prestigious distinction of being named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, by demonstrating exceptional academic achievement, dedication, and intellect.
The National Merit Scholarship Program is one of the most competitive academic recognitions in the country, with only a small percentage of students reaching this finalist stage. This achievement is a testament to Ben’s hard work, perseverance, and commitment to excellence.
Ben’s success is not his alone—it is also a reflection of the support and encouragement he has received from his family. I’d like to acknowledge his parents, Neil Feit and Julia Wilson, for the role they have played in fostering his love of learning and intellectual curiosity.
I am privileged to present this certificate recognizing Ben Feit as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist on behalf of Fredonia High School. Congratulations, Ben! We are incredibly proud of you and look forward to all the great things you will accomplish in the future!

FES third graders attended the "Let's Go Science Show" a fun-filled production that teaches physics concepts through theatrically based experiments and demonstrations.
During the show, Mr. Swart was selected by the presenter to help demonstrate how soundwaves work and Mrs. Alguire's performance was 'electrifying'!
