Five Students are National Merit Finalists
We salute our five National Merit Finalists: Aidan Dong, Larrabee Ellenberg, Charlotte Peavy, Lena Trask-Trafton and Naja Weinkle.
Fewer than 1% of current high school seniors who took the PSAT in the fall of 2023 qualify as Semifinalists. Semifinalists then must fulfill several additional requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition, including having an outstanding high school transcript, submitting a principal's recommendation, an application, and an essay, and taking the SAT or ACT to confirm their PSAT scores.
Our finalists are shown in the photo.
