The principal, Kelley St. Coeur, of Ashland High School announced today that the following students have been named Commended Students in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program: Eva Bruklich, Paulina Chumakov, Samantha Leblanc, Sabrina Liu, and Arthur Wang. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented by the principal and their guidance counselors to these scholastically talented students on September 19, 2017.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2018 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of the more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2018 competition by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSATNMSQT).
“The young men and women being name Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
Congratulations to these hard-working, bright young adults! We are very proud of them!
